Fine art suffered a severe blow! Here is a boxer who uses boxing gloves instead of a brush.

Bart van Polanen Petel is a Danish boxer-painter. This does not mean that he boxes during the day and paints at night, or vice versa. Boxing itself is already a kind of art, but Petel raised it to the level of fine art. Instead of a brush, he uses boxing gloves and instead of a canvas stand, a punching bag wrapped in canvas. And if anything, his punches cause paint to splatter around rather than the blood and sweat of his opponent.

Rooster has artistic streak obviously in pesto, because otherwise probably his fists covered in boxing gloves wouldn't, instead of cracking bones and gnashing teeth, he uses it for innocent artistic creation. His painting technique (paintboxing), but his moves in full they originate from boxing, so no guy touches his creations brush, just more or less heavy glove strikes. If they are not allowed in the ring punches below the belt, brushstrokes are not allowed in the painter's box (free after the Rooster).


Petel beats his artworks, sorry, paints, even to three hours, and if you are guaranteed not to be there when you visit his gallery knocked out his fist, but the same cannot be said for prices, which rise up to 1300 euros.

Although his approach to painting may seem unusual, Petel he is not the only boxer, who uses boxing gloves for something other than dealing punches to an opponent. Covers is recently with his artistic creations the Ukrainian boxer also filled Wladimir Klitschko, the heavyweight champion of the world, who is in partnership with the company Monotype painted, or typed 26 letters, which they used as font and serves as financial aid for charity organization A Heart For Children, which fights against illiteracy (this plagues many Ukrainians). Hopefully as good as Wladimir in the ring.
