Alasdair Banks Mixed media on card | 71 cm x 94 cm (28 inches x 37 inches) | framed in pale gold under glass | Abstract Expressionist
In Eye of the Storm 2019 Banks captures the quiet intensity that precedes action on the racetrack. Broad, expressive strokes of vivid colour sweep across the scene, rendering both horses and jockeys in a moment of poised stillness. The figures, though fragmented and abstracted, are imbued with a tense energy that pulses beneath the surface of the composition, characteristic of Banks’ dynamic approach to equestrian subjects.
