Ruth Davis · 2019 · United Kingdom

A vivid painting channels the color, rebellion and fever surrounding the 2019 Women's World Cup.

It translates women’s football’s tournament atmosphere into a distinct visual language rather than reproducing sports-media imagery.

The Historian

All Hexodot Everything" is an heir to a lineage of sports art that includes works like Eric Ravilious's cricket paintings and the Futurist-inspired depictions of modern athletics by Umberto Boccioni. Ruth Davis's work preserves the vibrant, kinetic essence of the 2019 Women's World Cup, its colors and chaos distilled into a singular, unforgettable image.

The Psychologist

All Hexodot Everything" captures the fervent desire for community and belonging among fans of women's football. By translating the emotional intensity of the 2019 World Cup into a vibrant, dynamic visual language, Ruth Davis's painting taps into the viewer's own projections of excitement, pride, and collective identity.

The Sceptic

A gesture towards the sublime, or a shallow exercise in capturing the zeitgeist? Davis's painting risks reducing the complexities of feminism and football to a splashy color palette. Can its bold lines and textures truly convey the nuances of the 2019 World Cup, or is it merely a nostalgic artifact of a moment in time?

These are interpretations written in three voices, not quotations from any individual.
