Slone’s masterful painting of Acelino Freitas defeated Cuban Joel Casamayor for the world boxing championship

The painting is spectacular. The colors and texture depict action in the way only Slone can, yet never losing the true likeness of his subjects.

Slone perfectly positions the viewer in a moment of the fight that captures the very essence of boxing - the excitement and tension is captured perfectly. The painting looks like a fight, it speaks volumes. The viewer becomes part of the action of this championship fight painted with an explosion of energy. Slones ‘Freitas vs. Casamayor’ masterfully translates the action, excitement and fury of a prizefight of the highest level.

"The Freitas-Casamayor painting was a challenge because I wanted to give it the look of predator and prey, yet still show the dangers of wounded warrior" said Slone who painted the art as a private commission for Freitas' longtime promoter, Artie Perullo of Banner Promotions.
