IRWIN 'MAGIC' JOHNSON
GRAPHITE AND INK ON PAPER
17" X 13" INCHES
THIS DEPICTION OF 'MAGIC' EVOKES THE ESSENCE OF THIS GREAT BASKETBALL PLAYER.......THE BASKETBALL LINES THAT TRACE THE CONTOURS OF HIS HEAD CONVERGE TO SUGGEST THE EXISTENTIAL HARMONY AND FUSION OF A SYMBOLISED PORTRAIT.......HE BECOMES THE BALL AND THE BALL BECOMES 'MAGIC'.
