This painting portrays world-renowned boxing coach Don Charles and his son George, imagined when George was a child. Set in Don’s gym in North London (where I used to go for training) , it explores the parallel between boxing and education; the discipline, humility, and resilience passed from father to son. Through the lens of sport, it reflects on the challenges and love inherent in parenthood, where guidance can sometimes feel like struggle, yet always aims to shape character and strength for life.
