Helter Skelter
This painting bursts with chaotic, kinetic energy — a vivid expression of motion and emotion colliding on the canvas. Layers of colour are applied with sweeping gestures and splattered strokes, creating a sense of turbulence and spontaneity.
The background is dark and moody, dominated by deep greens, blacks, and purples, setting a dramatic stage. Across this base, vibrant streaks of turquoise, yellow, red, and white explode outward, as if frozen in mid-motion. Thick drips of paint cascade vertically, suggesting gravity and uncontrolled release, while looping strokes and arcs imply circular or spiraling motion — a visual echo of the title “Helter Skelter.”
The turquoise and yellow splatters, in particular, bring a sense of brightness and vitality that cuts through the darker base, evoking both chaos and exhilaration. There’s a raw emotional intensity here — a feeling of disorder verging on creation, or perhaps creation born from disorder.
Overall, the piece feels like a dynamic confrontation between control and chaos — a visual symphony of motion, colour, and emotion, framed neatly in natural wood that contrasts its wild energy.
