Art of the Sole

For the past 20 years, artist Adam Port has been creating pop culture and sports art in incredibly precise detail. His style, more known as photorealism, has always been a strong interest for him going back as far as early childhood. The world of sports has also been quite an inspiration for Port’s work, as an avid sporting event attender and also as an athlete.

Port explains, “From as far back as I can remember, I was always ripping out comic book and Sports Illustrated images, and trying to copy them. I would just be sitting on the couch with my parents, not thinking about any sort of approach, just drawing.”

This was just the beginning for Port, taking his impeccable ability to copy a photograph and turning it into a highly realistic body of work. This includes black-and-white vintage images of Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle and Lou Gehrig. Collectors can also find football, hockey, boxing and even famous faces from the world of entertainment.
