Ben Mosley - Signed by Emma Raducanu Rocket Girl, original, mixed media artwork, celebrating the iconic moment when she lifted the 2021 US Open trophy
We are delighted to present our truly sensational, final lot; an original, mixed media painting by artist Ben Mosley, celebrating the incredible moments at Flushing Meadow when Emma Raducanu stunned the tennis world to become US Open Champion.
At 18 years of age and having just completed her A Level results, Emma started the Summer season ranked #366 in the world and #12 in Britain. It truly was a fairy tale in New York, as she battled through 3 qualifying rounds and 7 main draw matches, to become the youngest Grand Slam champion since Maria Sharapova in 2004.
Not only is she the first British woman to win a Grand Slam title, since Virginia Wade won Wimbledon in 1977, Emma is also the first qualifier, man or woman, to win a Grand Slam singles title.
Quote from the artist Ben Mosley “It’s been a pleasure and an honour to create a painting of Emma Raducanu celebrating her US Open triumph. Every so often someone really special comes along to inspire and achieve great things and Emma certainly did that in abundance. The painting celebrates her special moment holding the trophy and I wanted to capture the colour and energy of that moment in my work. She has proved that she is a champion of quality and to go and win the title without dropping a set was an unbelievable achievement. I hope she continues to go from strength to strength and this is the first of many titles for her.
"I called the painting of Emma "Rocket Girl" because she is vibrant, talented and she stormed her way to the US Open title with such style not dropping a set along the way. She rocketed her way to the world number 23 in mesmerising fashion leaving not only the tennis world in awe of her but the whole sporting world admiring her wonderful achievement."
As this remarkable year for British tennis draws to a close, we are honoured to present Ben Mosley's original, deep edged canvas, mixed media artwork, including 24 karat gold and Palladium leaf, entitled Emma Raducanu – Rocket Girl.
