Abstract
Sporting culture and identity has influenced the creation of art throughout history, carving out a unique aesthetic that combines the brutality of athletic competition with the marvel of human achievement. The representation of sporting culture through artwork provides deep sociological meaning and context to its respective time period and serves as a physical reminder of the integral role that sport has played in the shaping of society. An exposition of sport focused artworks ranging from prehistoric cave paintings to modern videography reveals connections between sporting culture and community identity and illuminates the undeniable vitality of sport as an art form.
