Lara
In 2007 Sacha was commissioned by The Lara Foundation and Essentially London to paint this very special and unique work of art to officially commemorate the record breaking career of the great Brian Lara. The piece depicts Lords and The Oval Cricket grounds, their crowds, players and iconic buildings as well as reflecting the colours, excitement, energy, atmosphere and flare of Brian's West-Indian Cricket. A 5x4 foot oil on canvas work which includes all of Lara's many records, trophies lifted, extraordinary achievements, encounters, many team-mates and press clippings from his unprecedented career, as well as the hand-prints and signatures of the worlds greatest cricketers including: Kapil Dev, Brian Lara, Sachin Tendulkah, Shane Warne, Sir Viv Richards, Sir Garfield Sobers, Sir Ian Botham, Andrew Flintoff, Jacques Kallis, David Gower, Clive Llyod, Kevin Petersen and many more.
The original work, 'Lara - A celebration' was auctioned at Lords Cricket Ground's Long Room at the end of 2007 where just over $160,000 was achieved on the night.
This piece has since been valued at between $300,000-$350,000
