The Fights No. 5
2008

An artistic representation of two boxers in mid-fight, with the figure on the left appearing to have been hit, as indicated by the red splatters that resemble blood streaming from the head and glove. The figure on the right is shown in a defensive stance. The artwork is rendered in a mix of grayscale and bold reds, with a sketch-like quality and incomplete forms that give it an abstract feel.
