Alasdair Banks Coloured oil on canvas | 90 cm x 183 cm (36 inches x 72 inches) | Abstract Expressionist
Shock & Awe (2016) is a panoramic triptych bursting with movement, colour, and raw competitive spirit. Through dynamic brushstrokes and saturated hues—crimson, cobalt, violet, and gold—Banks captures the intensity of the final push to the finish line. The three-part composition isolates moments of exertion and focus, allowing viewers to experience the race both as a sequence and a singular surge of energy. This commanding work embodies the artist’s signature fusion of structure and chaos, turning the racetrack into a theatre of emotion and speed.
