Above is Swimming by Howard Hodgkin, who describes his paintings as 'representational pictures of emotional situations'.
'For the unknown runner' by Chris Ofili, who uses personal experiences as the inspiration for his paintings and has created a powerful dedication to both Olympic history and the future stars of the London 2012 Games.
'Rose Rose' by Bridget Riley, who is known for both her use of vibrant colours, as well as her manipulation of the relationship between colours and shapes. For her Olympic print, Riley has arranged colours in horizontal stripes, indicating the direction of athletic tracks or swimming lanes.
LOndOn 2012 by Rachel Whiteread, who has composed a pattern of overlapping rings in the Olympic colours to represent both the emblem of the games, as well as the social gathering itself.
'Birds' by Tracey Emin, who has created her piece in her unique and notable drawing style; taking the Paralympic values of Inspiration and Determination as the starting point for her print.
'Big Ben' by Sarah Morris is a complex, geometric, abstract painting inspired by London and the architectural detail, patterns, signs and symbols of the cityscape.
To celebrate the Paralympic Games coming to London Morris has created an abstract representation of one of the city’s most iconic landmarks, Big Ben, that also evokes images of athletic tracks, swimming lanes, and field markings.
These posters are treasurable repesentations of this iconic event and will make beautiful additions to your home, or perhaps even a winning present for a loved one.
