This work is one of the projects carried out in various Northern European countries for the John Reed Fitness chain in which art, culture and a characteristic style accompany athletes during training. This corridor, in particular, flanks a room with various types of machines for aerobic activity and reaches the room with the pre-boxing equipment. The director of the Viennese studio, Brian, a person of rare sympathy and very sensitive to art, inspired by the grand piano positioned in a large niche at the end of the corridor, asked me to create a visual representation of the piece “The Eye of the Tiger” which was very popular in the 80s and which was used in the soundtracks of the films Rocky 3 and 4 among many others. Being able to render the progression of the moods and energy expressed in the song was not immediate, the drawing develops very long and is relatively narrow, making any figurative representation useless. At the same time a purely abstract grammar would have been difficult to perceive, so I imagined “stopping” on the floor the “trace” of an imaginary tiger which, making its way through the notes of the song, would first slowly and then faster and faster until it take a big leap towards the piano. The tiger initially breaks down into abstract shapes and then as it progresses it takes on an increasingly recognizable shape. It was so nice to see Brian’s eyes shine with joy when he saw the finished corridor!
