Okay, straight into the info received by email:
Please help raise funds for the David Rocastle Trust.
Royal Portrait Artist and passionate Arsenal fan, Chinwe, was commissioned by Arsenal to paint legend David ‘Rocky’ Rocastle to be auctioned at their Charity Ball at Highbury on 8th May in aid of The David Rocastle Trust as part of the club’s ‘Farewell to Highbury’ events. It raised £6,000 for the trust and has generated a lot of interest both in the UK & overseas.
Chinwe also agreed with Arsenal to produce a limited edition of 275 high quality signed prints selling for £65 each, with £25 going to Arsenal’s Charity of the year – The David Rocastle Trust.
To purchase, visit either - www.davidrocastletrust.org/rocky_painting.htm or www.chinwegallery.com/rocky. Each purchase will be accompanied by a signed numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
For those wanting to know more about the artist, there was an article in the April edition of the Arsenal Magazine about Chinwe & her passion for Arsenal. Following this article, there have been many requests from people wishing to purchase prints of ‘Match Day’ (commissioned by Martin Keown). Chinwe has decided to produce a limited edition of 350 signed prints of the painting to mark the end of an era at Highbury. If anyone is interested in a print they are available for £35 and are approx (A4) size. Visit www.chinwegallery.com/matchday to purchase.
