Artist Bill Lopa's use of bold colors and technique perfectly captures Yankees star Reggie Jackson. Executed in cool blue hues with frames of Jackson's trademark tinted glasses being in a contrasting gold; Lopa has totally captured Reggie's look of determination and confidence. Lopa is a die-hard Yankees fan and chose to concentrate his art on the sports figures he loved in a style he made his own: kinetic impressionism. Working in acrylics, Lopa uses a "splatter" technique where the colors are applied with a pallet knife. Besides the artist's signature in blue on the bottom right corner, Reggie has signed in wonderful contrasting silver ink, adding his number "44" and his famous nickname "Mr. October". The giclee is printed on velvet paper and is marked 16/44, measures 20" x 24" and is unframed. PSA/DNA sticker Q59849 and MLB hologram DB244288255 is affixed to the lower left corner and a UC Q1115A hologram is affixed on the back.
