Nelson Mandela: The Long Walk

£395.00 GBP

Product Details

The Long Walk to Freedom isn't just the title of Mandela's autobiography — it's a description of the entire arc of his life, from Transkei to Robben Island to the presidency of a new South Africa. This painting takes a different angle from Legacy in Blue: warmer, more forward-looking, a face that's still moving, still walking toward something. The journey that never quite ends, even after the destination is reached.

Nelson Mandela: The Long Walk is an original hand-painted Nelson Mandela oil and acrylic painting on canvas — expressive brushwork in my distinctive graffiti-art-influenced style. Painted to your size by Richard Day.
