As part of the Cultural Olympic Programme, 11 artists have captured the spirit of the London Olympics and the skill, passion and commitment of Team GB.

In Olympic Swims I and II (pictured), Dominic J. Wheadon explores swimming and swimmers by cleverly using reflections and eddies in the water to speak of lithe passage at great speed.

In High Jump, a bronze resin on steel, sculptor Christine Charlesworth captures the moment when an athlete parabolas over the bar, recreating both the dynamic thrust of the move and the impact on the athlete’s body as he undertakes this most unnatural of manoeuvres.

Richard Booth’s photogravure etch Giclee Precision and Fluidity, portrays perfectly the lunge of the Paralympics fencer, which graduates from a blur of swift movement on the left of the piece to the clear aim of the epée on the right, the sum of the energy pinpointed in exactly the intended spot.

In a small acrylic on canvas, Featherlight, Brian West gives a formally framed portrait of a gymnast in motion: red clad arms and torso propelling a flare of luminescent legs towards the completion of a tremendous back-flip.

Dylan Izaak takes a light-hearted look at the impact of the games on London. His gloss on aluminium panel Big Ben, London 2012, cartoons Big Ben, a London bus, locals and tourists with Olympic logos and Union Jack prints everywhere. And the unanswered question of where ordinary people fit into this is parodied by a road sign that announces: “This Way, That Way and Another Way.”

In Power to 2012, Richard Booth’s Fine Art Museum Print we see the solitary commitment and dedication of a scull as she shoots under Henley Bridge, focused and alone, working towards achieving her personal best.

The exhibition continues at O3 Gallery until April 29, open Tuesday to Sunday.
