Anthony Cooper – Arsenal Save

Arsenal Save is a dynamic and stylised 3D pop-sports composition by Anthony Cooper, celebrating the spirit of heroic goalkeeping and the identity of Arsenal FC. Set in a vibrantly coloured football stadium rendered in comic-book style, the piece captures a goalkeeper mid-air, diving with fierce determination to deflect a goal, his red glove prominently bearing the Liver bird, a nod to Arsenal's historic crest.

But the twist—true to Cooper’s dimensional style—is the massive "Like" thumbs-up icon breaking through the top left, with bold red lettering spelling “Arsenal ”, as if social approval itself is crashing through the scene.

Conceptual Interpretation:

• Celebration of team pride: This is more than a football moment—it’s a cultural icon rendered in action, drawing on the mythology of sporting greatness.

• Symbolic convergence: The Arsenal “Like” badge escapes the canvas, merging social media and fandom with the heroism of the pitch.

• Maritime tribute: Tall ships and ocean waves in the background subtly reference Arsenal's naval heritage, grounding this piece in city pride.
