Artwork Description
Two young soccer players race forward across a chart of the Indian Ocean, their bodies leaning into the movement as they run side by side. One wears a loose blue kit, while the other is dressed in black with flashes of coral, ochre and white. Their long strides and swinging arms give the composition an immediate athletic energy.
Behind them, coastlines, shipping routes and weather markings stretch from southern Africa across the ocean towards India and Australia. Lisette Forsyth sets the freedom and physicality of the boys’ movement against the chart’s carefully ordered information, turning geography into an expansive playing field. At 110 x 76 cm, World Games has a bold scale suited to its dynamic subject.
This limited-edition giclée print on fine art paper is numbered 2/5 and sold unframed.
