Alasdair Banks’s Candy Crush is a vibrant and energetic composition that exemplifies his signature fusion of expressive motion and bold color. The painting features a dynamic equestrian scene, where the horses and jockeys surge forward in a blur of movement, evoking the thrill of a race. True to its title, the piece is infused with candy-like hues—bright pinks, electric blues, and vivid oranges—that pop against the more subdued background, creating a playful yet intense visual rhythm. Banks’s loose, gestural style amplifies the sense of speed and spontaneity, making Candy Crush both a celebration of sport and a feast for the eyes.
