Kurt Fearnley, by Adam Knott, created in 2012, an inkjet print on paper. Measuring 74 cm high and 55 cm wide.

The black and white photograph depicts Kurt Fearnley, champion wheelchair sprinter, in dramatic closeup against a black backdrop. His face and shoulders loom large as if pushing powerfully forward.

The crown of Kurt’s head is cropped, his short hair drenched, streams of liquid pouring though his fringe, down his face and off his bearded chin. He is turned toward his right which lies in shadow, with his left ear showing. Three pronounced furrows run across his forehead, above raised eyebrows. He is staring intensely to his right, drops of liquid catching on his eyelashes. He has a straight nose, and lean cheeks beaded with moisture. His mouth is open, his moustache running along his top lip. His beard is short, wet and wiry following the contour of his angular jaw. His bare shoulders, subtly out of focus, are cropped, his right shoulder sitting much higher than the left. His blurry upper torso is obscured in shadow. He is wearing a fitted white singlet top.
