Inspire a Generation - TeamGB and the 2012 Olympic Games

The London 2012 Olympic Games was a huge success, not only for the achievements of the TeamGB athletes, but for the positive impact the Games had on the public overall.

In this painting titled "My Generation - Inspired", I wanted to focus on the positive impact the Games will surely have on children over the coming years. 


 



I wanted to portray in particular the diverse disciplines, together with a metaphorical 'hurdle' and the iconic Union Jack as a mark of achievement, as we saw with athletes draping themselves with the flag on numerous occasions. You may also notice some significant numbers on the back of the shirts :)
