Impact Art contest: Piatti is magic

Impact Art Piatti

This Saturday’s game poster for the visit of the Chicago Fire has been chosen: Nacho Piatti, who scored the winner in the last minute in Windy City, features. The Argentine magician was depicted at full speed by artist Marco Paradiso, probably doing one of those cutbacks of his. The impression of dynamism in the image is amplified by the blue fade behind the Impact’s #10.


“To create my illustrations, I start with a photo and I take inspiration from the rotoscopy technique,” explains the artist. “I use a lot of bright, vibrant colours and I try to maintain a minimalist approach in my work.”


In the midst of the MLS Cup Playoffs race, the Montreal Impact (8-6-9, 33 points, 5th in East) welcomes Chicago Fire (4-11-7, 19 points, 10th in East) at Stade Saputo this Saturday at 7:30pm. Tickets as low as $29 are still available!
