“In 'Pink Tornado', abstraction dances gently with meaning, never arriving, always evolving.”
Pink Tornado (2024) spins with joy and chaos — a riot of candy-colored motion and playful destruction. This 48 x 48 inch acrylic painting from the Ephemeral Atmosphere Collection takes the swirling form of a vortex and douses it in hot pink, lavender, orange, and acidic lime, creating a composition that feels both cartoonish and primal.
The vortex dominates the canvas, drawn with broad curving bands that spiral from the center outwards. The strokes are unapologetic — fast, thick, confident. Around the edges, smaller marks and splashes suggest debris, noise, or celebration.
I created Pink Tornado in one sustained, fast-moving session. I wanted to channel energy without control, to move from the wrist, elbow, shoulder — let the whole body spiral. There’s catharsis in letting color do the talking.
The work is in conversation with Kenny Scharf’s cartoon cosmos and Takashi Murakami’s hyper-saturated pop explosions. But here, the tone is more internal — less commentary, more instinct.
Pink Tornado isn’t about destruction. It’s about becoming undone in the best way — letting go of edges to find your own center.
