2020 FIDE Candidates Tournament – The Collection

And here’s the collection.  This is the format in which I want to get them all framed. and that may mean getting a specialist framer to at least prepare the mounting board with the eight apertures.

There’s a balance there of coloured, white and patterned backgrounds.  A balance of rollerball and marker delineation.  A balance of left facing and right facing players.  And this is balanced over the page, not just through the collection.  Even the best and worst portraits are spread evenly.

There are also bits of uniqueness there.  One player has his name there.  One has a thought bubble.  One has a green face.  One is in such a dark place you can’t tell where his hair stops and the darkness starts.  And these pockets of uniqueness are spread all over the page too.

I’m ridiculously proud of this creation.  It’s not for sale though – it’s on display in my art studio.
