Red/ White REDUX

The tremendous success of 2025 & the rich tradition of Cornell’s past

From the fall of 2012 into 2013, I created the piece “Red/White Scrimmage”, which depicted Cornell lacrosse players from 1971 (their first NCAA Championship team) through the (then) present. Read about it HERE.

Now, over a decade later, Cornell Lacrosse has again reached the highest level of college lacrosse and won its fourth NCAA championship. Perhaps more than any other program, Cornell builds the future upon its past. Tradition, culture, and pride are richly woven into the program.

The original “Red/White Scrimmage” was a run of 77 prints (18” x 32” giclee image on 22” x 36” paper). Over half the LE run of 77 sold, but on those I still have in stock, I am creating “Red/White REDUX.” Each new piece is an original. Acrylic paint over the giclee print. In a way, it’s perfect, taking a painting that timelessly juxtaposed eras and adding another era to it.

Video about ‘Red/White Scrimmage”:

“Red/White”:

“It's a wonderful piece,” says former Cornell head coach Richie Moran. “When you look at the piece, all of those numbers were worn by a number of players, so the numbers on the jerseys are significant, not just the actual player being represented. Other than No. 10 and No. 21, all those numbers are still worn here. Those numbers are the backbone of the program. Additionally, the red and white scrimmage was always intense and well played. They were always like a playoff game because neither team wanted to lose. So to Cornell lacrosse, those red/white scrimmages were extremely vital because they were a stepping stone for our season.”
