Rainbow Riot

An original abstract artwork inspired by desert heat, layered colour, and the energetic rhythms that emerge when growth meets intensity.

Rainbow Riot is an original abstract artwork inspired by desert heat, layered colour, and the energetic rhythms that emerge when growth meets intensity. Warm washes and expressive linework build a sense of movement and accumulation, evoking plant forms responding to light, pressure, and change.

Rainbow Riot captures a moment where colour, line, and movement collide — not explosively, but insistently. Loose, gestural marks rise and fold over one another like desert plants responding to sudden rain, heat, and light.

Warm washes of coral, ochre, and sunlit gold form the base of the work, while energetic lines and scattered blue marks introduce rhythm and tension. There is a sense of accumulation here — of marks added instinctively, responding to what came before — creating a layered surface that feels both raw and resolved.

Rainbow Riot is part of the Succulent Skies series — a collection of original abstract paintings inspired by desert landscapes, sky-washed light, and the resilience of plant life thriving in sun-soaked environments. Each artwork in the series explores the meeting point between earth and sky, using layered colour, organic line work, and intuitive mark-making to express growth, movement, and quiet vitality. Together, the series creates a harmonious body of work that can be collected individually or displayed as a cohesive set.
