ROCHEUX
J'imaginais que nous étions en 1976 et qu'on vient de me demander de créer l'affiche officielle du film ROCKY. Que fais-je?
Je vais droit au cœur de l'histoire – la veille du grand combat – lorsque Rocky visite le ring et se rend compte qu'il n'a aucune chance de vaincre Apollo Creed. C'est à ce moment que Rocky change d'avis de son "envie" de gagner le combat, à son "besoin" de tenir la distance et de prouver qu'il n'est pas un clochard.
Ma peinture originale SEUL DANS LE RING capture ce moment - un moment qui résonne avec nous tous. Ici, je le réimagine comme l'affiche officielle du film ROCKY. L'imagerie puissante est complète avec la citation de Rocky en bas, nous disant exactement ce qu'il a l'intention de réaliser.

Some artwork captures a scene. The really special pieces capture a feeling.
John Rivoli’s ROCKY does exactly that.
This image represents one of the most important moments in the entire Rocky story — Rocky alone in the ring, realizing that maybe winning isn’t the point. The point is standing there when it’s over. Going the distance. Proving something to yourself when nobody else expects you to.
That message has always resonated deeply with me.
I had the opportunity to meet John and asked him to personally sign this piece for me with the words “Keep Moving Forward.” Those three words have carried a lot of meaning in my own life, which makes this artwork far more than something hanging on a wall.
John has an incredible ability to capture not only what Rocky looked like in a particular moment, but what that moment meant.
Every time I look at this piece, I’m reminded that sometimes the victory isn’t necessarily winning the fight.
Sometimes it’s still being there at the final bell.
Keep Moving Forward.
Rocky in the ring … a must have
This is so good
This piece brings Rocky's whole life into perspective. The night before the fight, full of so many emotions. A nobody from Philadelphia, gets to go toe to toe with the champion of the world, Appollo Creed. All he wanted to do, is go where no man has gone before, the distance. If he can make it to the end of the fight, and he's still standing, he's gonna prove to himself for the first time in his life, that he wasn't just another bum from the neighborhood.
Absolutely stunning so proud to display this in my rocky room John always does an amazing job...a true artist
