Rapid Reaction Force 2022 channels the electric dynamism of polo through vivid brushwork and a kinetic composition. Banks’ expressive use of line and layered colour captures the urgency and precision of the sport, as two riders lean into the charge with mallets raised. The turquoise background hums with energy, while the players’ crimson and yellow silks clash in visual syncopation—imbuing the scene with immediacy and tension. A striking study in motion and competitive intensity.
