Mixed Media Acrylic Painting of a Philadelphia Phillies Player on MacGregor Baseball Base

This unique piece of sports memorabilia features a dynamic original acrylic painting executed directly onto a standard 16” x 16” MacGregor brand quilted baseball base. The central subject is a batter in a Philadelphia Phillies home kit, likely representing Bryce Harper given the batting stance and red helmet. The artwork is characterized by an expressive, neo-expressionist style with a vibrant, multi-colored palette including saturated purples, greens, reds, and blues. The application of paint is thick and gestural, contrasting with the utilitarian, textured white surface of the base material. The quilted stitching of the base remains visible through the paint, adding a specific tactile dimension to the composition. The base itself shows clean white edges and is professionally mounted against a black background within a custom-fitted clear acrylic display case. The condition appears to be excellent, with the acrylic case providing protection from dust and UV damage. No significant wear or cracking of the paint layer is visible. This contemporary piece bridges the gap between traditional sports collectibles and modern mixed-media art, likely dating from the 2010s to the early 2020s.
