Nik Khabibulin -The Reflex

Graphite on paper, 18 x 24". This is a portrait drawing of the Stanley Cup winning goaltender also known as the 'Bulin Wall', best known for his play with the Chicago Blackhawks and the Tampa Bay Lightning of the National Hockey League and was created by Jerry Tibstra. The signed and autographed original as well as limited edition prints of this artwork can be purchased in our store. "Although I see Nik Khabibulin as a chessmaster of positioning on the ice, in this image I hoped to convey the split second reflex between an athlete's piercing eyes, split second decision making and almost superhuman reflexes."
