"Champions" Artwork By Richard Wilson


A return to artist Richard Wilson`s artwork now featuring players from Leicester City Football Clubs Premiership Winning team of 2015/16 season alongside manager Claudio Ranieri.
My film features the artist at work on the mural in Kate Street #Leicester.
Artist Richard Wilson works in spray paint to create artworks focusing primarily on portraits.
In 2016 inspired by the football teams Fairy tale success he traveled to Leicester in search of a place to immortalize Leicester city manager Claudio Ranieri, finding the perfect wall behind Electrical retailer Marks Electrical he set about attaining permission from the walls owner who being an avid LCFC fan happily gave permission for artist Richard to begin work.
Attracting the attention of media both locally and nationally it wasn't long till Richards work was being seen on newspaper front pages and in TV news bulletins,
BBC Radio Leicester`s drive time show hosted by Ben Jackson even inviting him to share his favorite music choices desert island disks style.
Richard was later invited to return and add portraits of the whole squad to his art work which (at the time of writing) he is now doing. To find out more about Richards work please visit his website at www.richardwilsonartwork.com

BMX National Series at Huncote Hornets, Leicestershire

The 29th and 30th September 2018 saw the #BMX National Series come to #Leicester Huncote Hornets BMX track, The event (rescheduled due to weather issues in early spring) saw riders of all ages arrive in the Leicestershire town from across the country to do battle on the Hornets BMX track behind the Pavilion leisure center. My film aims to give a sense of the race atmosphere on day two of the event where a dramatically cloudy sky and lighting gave a cinematic feel to races on the track.

The Paris - Roubaix Bike Race - April 2013

My film features the professional (and dusty !) Paris - Roubaix Bike Race which took place in April 2013 and was filmed at various locations along the route in France. The Race takes place (as its name suggests) on a route between Paris and Roubaix in northern France and is famous for its rough terrain and cobblestones which often cause riders to fall and gives the race its nickname of 'The Hell of the North & 'A Sunday in Hell'. The event was first run in 1896 and as one of cycling's oldest races draws large crowds from many country's. The race was created by two Roubaix textile manufacturers, Théodore Vienne and Maurice Perez.
