Women's Wednesdays is an original art project by Ronnie which features internationally capped women's rugby players (chosen from his followers' suggestions each week).
Original mixed media artwork by Ronnie McInnes No.15 - Chloe Rollie © 2020.
Women's Wednesdays is about doing something in my power to help raise the profile of women in sports, particularly rugby. Partly influenced by Pop Surrealism, I usually tie something into the narrative that has been inspired by video games.
The artwork was made by using a combination of long exposure (light painting) photography and digital art techniques. This is the fifteenth piece from the project and features Scottish rugby player - full back - Chloe Rollie.
During my research, I found out that Chloe wanted to be a firefighter growing up and...funnily enough, there is a game called Firefighter.
The project started with fire in my artwork of Heather Lockhart and I have used fire regularly for the women's and men's artworks. So it ties the overall story together well that Chloe puts out the fires that these fab rugby players usually bring to their game. She's seen here pulling on her PPE, readying to do that as her dog Lola watches on from the background (What can I say? I'm a dog person).
