Going Loco

Using a muted colour palette that draws attention to the unfolding narrative, Bob adds layers of glaze in a style inspired by the Old Masters of the Renaissance.  

This artwork is inspired by the community spirit of northern England as we see embodied in Leeds United's anthem, ‘Marching on Together’, which is referenced throughout. The blue and yellow tones of the football kit are incorporated to symbolise a common goal and working as a team, while the window posters, wall scribbles, flags and scarves illustrate the bond these teams can create within a community. 

Bob hopes to show that home is often how we feel and not always a physical place; while many of us are away from our hometowns and places that we love at the moment, it doesn’t stop us from being a family.
