JACK GRAHAM<br />

‘ I chose this image of Jack purely as it suited the<br />

compositional requirements of the painting. He is<br />

bursting into the scene from the right-hand edge,<br />

along with Castagna, Baker and Soldo to create a<br />

dynamic rush of energy that draws our eye directly<br />

into the painting. Pure artistic license here. The edges<br />

of the painting are so important in engaging the viewer<br />

and inviting us in. Note the line from both ends of the<br />

canvas, with players in the foreground trailing back<br />

and in, all the way to Bachar in the middle floating<br />

above the central circle of players around the Skipper.<br />

Bachar is looking down at them so our eye, after<br />

zooming in from the edges, leads to him and is then<br />

reflected down to the heart of the painting.’<br />

JASON CASTAGNA<br />

‘ As with Graham, this image was chosen as it perfectly<br />

frames the right-hand edge of the painting. His<br />

diagonal pose is so dynamic as he leans into the<br />

scene, drawing our eye with him towards the action<br />

in the centre of the scene. It also symbolises his third<br />

quarter goal in <strong>2020</strong> that brought the Tigers within<br />

striking distance of the Cats and led to the eventual<br />

onslaught in the last quarter that overran Geelong.’<br />
