Neiman's SHAQ is massive, focused and determined, dominating the serigraph just as he does the basketball court. Powering his way through a thicket of defending arms, he is about to slam the ball through the hoop on the way to winning the 2000 NBA Championship. The image glows with the gold from the Lakers' uniforms and of course the gold of being an MVP. Narrating his serigraph, the artist says, "It's like slo-mo, when No. 34 looms up, surging out of a crowd under the basket, a huge Moby Dick-like whale, ball in hand, players falling on all sides in his wake, like so much foam. After sinking the basket he hangs on the rim, then releases his 300+ pounds and floats gracefully, arms waving like a bird's wings, to the floor. Shaq doesn't run like so many big men who chug like they have sore feet. He is swift, supple and can with accuracy throw the ball the length of the floor to a teammate who is down under the basket. SHAQ's versatility makes fans expect more from the game's big men." From the year 2000, the image size is 40x26", measuring 47x32" to the edges of the special parchment paper. Numbered 77/410, from the original serigraphic edition of 410, 82AP, 8PP, signed in pencil on the border by Shaq as well as Neiman. Hand numbered by the artist (77/410). NRMT.
