Alasdair Banks Conte crayon and charcoal on card | 56 cm x 43 cm (22 inches x 17 inches) | framed in matt black wood under anti-reflective glass | Abstract Expressionist
Hard Driven 2025 is a dynamic monochrome study capturing the raw intensity of a tightly packed field in full flight. Banks’ vigorous use of conte crayon and charcoal carves out a visceral foreground horse and rider, surging toward the viewer with unstoppable force. The blurred, urgent strokes and flashes of helmet colour lend the work a cinematic immediacy—an abstracted burst of speed, power, and competition.
