About the Item

Boxing Gloves is a portrait of retired boxer Alex Saucedo by Honora Jacob. Alex Saucedo now operates a boxing training facility in after retiring from a professional career in boxing.. Alex Saucedo's professional boxing career ended so suddenly, he didn't even know it until 10 rounds, a loss by unanimous decision and a hospital visit later. Five years ago, the Oklahoma City boxer faced off with Arnold Barboza Jr. in Las Vegas for a shot at the World Boxing Organization (WBO) World Title. After the disappointing loss, the OKC junior welterweight suffered severe headaches that sent him to a Vegas hospital, where he was diagnosed with a subdural hematoma, a life-threatening condition in which blood builds up on the surface of the brain. Doctors determined that the traumatic brain injury was caused by an accidental headbutt that happened in the opening seconds of the 10-round fight. They also declared that Saucedo, then 26, would never be able to fight again, suddenly ending his pro career with a 30-2 record, including 19 knockouts — and leaving the Mexican-American "boxing prodigy" nicknamed "El Cholo" wondering what to do with the fighter still living inside him.. The one-time contender's struggle to redefine his identity, find new purpose and take care of his family after the unexpected end of his boxing career is the focus of the new documentary "Saucedo," directed and filmed by Emmett Berg. New film 'Saucedo,' about a former OKC professional boxer, steps into the ring at Netflix "I hope that people are inspired. I hope that people leave (the film) with some kind of fondness for Alex and his family, and that people enjoy it," Berg told The Oklahoman. "(My hope) was to help shed light on the difficult pivot that all athletes have to do at one point or another in their careers ... and show what it's like for someone to put a dream away and move on and learn to close one chapter and really be given another in their life." Honora Jacob is known for her historical figures and works behind plexiglass. Other works by Honora Jacob can be seen on 1stdibs .Painting is gallery wrapped. BIO Honora Jacob received her first Bachelors Degree in Communication Arts from the University of Texas to pursue a career as an advertising art director. Twenty years later, a move to Kentucky provided her with time to reflect on her life path. She then turned her attention to a career change following her first passion, painting, and returned to university to receive her second Bachelors Degree, a B.F.A. in Studio Arts. After which, she attended the Masters of Fine Arts program at the University of Kentucky. A return to Texas in 2003, initiated a period of dividing her time between the U.S. and the U.K., where the experience of living as a non-native provided inspiration for her early narrative works. Fast forward to 2018, Ms. Jacob relocated to Kentucky once again, where she currently resides full-time.

A Dynamic 1930s Boxing Match Painting by Famed Chicago Artist, Francis Chapin

A Dynamic 1930s Boxing Match Painting by Famed Chicago Artist, Francis Chapin

By Francis Chapin

Located in Chicago, IL

A dynamic, colorful 1930s painting of a boxing match in Mexico by famed Chicago Modern artist Francis Chapin. Painted during one of the artist's early trips to Mexico, an exceptional painting showing Chapin's steadfast interest in sporting scenes, particularly boxing matches. Image size: 12 x 28 inches. Framed size: 15 1/2 x 31 1/2 inches. Estate stamped on reverse. Provenance: Estate of the artist. Francis Chapin, affectionately called the “Dean of Chicago Painters” by his colleagues, was one of the city’s most popular and celebrated painters in his day. Born at the dawn of the 20th Century in Bristolville, Ohio, Chapin graduated from Washington and Jefferson College near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania before enrolling at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1922. He would set down deep roots at the Art Institute of Chicago, exhibiting there over 31 times between 1926 and 1951. In 1927 Chapin won the prestigious Bryan Lathrop Fellowship from the Art Institute – a prize that funded the artist’s yearlong study trip to Europe. Upon his return to the United States, Chapin decided to remain in Chicago, noting the freedom Chicago artists have in developing independently of the pressure to conform to pre-existing molds (as was experienced by artists in New York, for example). Chapin became a popular instructor at the Art Institute, teaching there from 1929 to 1947 and at the Art Institute’s summer art school in Saugatuck, Michigan (now called Oxbow) between 1934 – 1938 (he was the director of the school from 1941-1945). Chapin’s contemporaries among Chicago’s artists included such luminaries as Ivan Le Lorraine Albright...
