The Diehards

This series celebrates the characters, personalities and rituals of Australian football supporters.

Inspired by the familiar faces found in crowds, pubs and terraces around the country, these portraits, capture the loyalty, anticipation and emotion that come with following your team week after week.

Each figure is exaggerated and simplified to distil the essence of the supporter. Painted in oil with loose brushwork and bold mark-making, these works aim to reflect the humour, humanity and devotion of the game-day faithful.
