Catweazle - Last in Wrestling Paintings Series

Catweazle - 'False Teeth'

Acrylic on canvas. 24x30cm. Painting by Luke Haines. Edition 1 of 1. Signed. Catweazle - in Heaven. Gary 'Catweazle' Cooper, based his act upon a children's TV character. Catweazle (the wrestler) didn't much look like Catweazle ( the children's telly wizard) but who the hell cared. With his sack cloth and long lank hair Catweazle was the closest thing to a real psychedelic wrestler. Now, everyone needs a gimmick and the 'Weazle had two. A plastic frog that he'd fanny around with, (much to the irritation of his opponents) and false teeth, that would invariably get knocked out of his mouth. Gasp at the streaks of silver paint that make up Catweazle's amazing hair. Marvel at his fulsome beard. I painted this to a soundtrack of 'Wild Eyed Boy From Freecloud,' that sort of thing. Catweazle - we miss you.
