"Crimson Dominance" Signed and Numbered *Limited Edition Original Serigraph

Painted Area: 22" x 33"

"Limited Edition" refers to the fact that there is only a certain amount, or "limited" number of serigraphs printed of a specific piece of artwork. After the edition is printed, all of the original artwork and screens used to make the print are destroyed or effaced. This ensures that no additional prints of this image will be made in the future. This is the opposite of an "Open Edition," where public demand determines the number of pieces included in an edition.

The limited life of the stencil prevents unlimited editions. Additionally, variables in the process of hand-pulling serigraphs mean that each individual serigraph is slightly different from each other serigraph in the edition. Minor deviations in color registration, paint distribution, and variations yield individual pieces that are truly "one-of-a-kind" or "original."

America’s Sports Artist Rick Rush has woven several monumental moments from the 2011 National Championship game into his painting entitled Crimson Dominance. At the foreground, quarterback and Offensive MVP A.J. McCarron (#10) hands off to unanimous All-American and Heisman Trophy finalist Trent Richardson (#3) on the touchdown run. Offensive linemen include: unanimous All-American and Outland Trophy winner Barrett Jones (#75), Alfred McCullough (#52), D.J. Fluker (#76), and fullback Brad Smelley (#47).

The middleground of Crimson Dominance features three vignettes, from left-to-right: Kicker Jeremy Shelley (#90), who scored 15 points. LSU’s Jordan Jefferson is gang-tackled by consensus All-American Dont’a Hightower (#30), Tre DePriest (#33), Nick Gentry (#58), and Courtney Upshaw (#41). Linebacker C.J. Mosley (#32) intercepts Jordan Jefferson.

In the background of Crimson Dominance, a mass of Crimson Tide players celebrate Alabama’s 14th National Championship, and gather around Coach Nick Saban as he holds the Coach’s Trophy.
