Racing For The Line ORIGINAL by Stuart Storey

Type: ORIGINAL Medium: Mixed Media On Box Canvas Image Size: 24" x 36" Framed Size: 26" x 38" Signature: Yes, Hand Signed by Stuart Storey Certificate: No Race For The Line is an energetic new original from StuART Storey’s Rowing Series, capturing the speed, rhythm and sheer determination of crews driving towards the finish. Four racing boats cut through a sea of pattern and movement, their long, streamlined forms slicing across the composition as the rowers work together in perfect synchronisation. Storey turns the water itself into a mass of swirling lines and repeated motifs, creating an almost hypnotic sense of current, turbulence and momentum. Vivid bands of green, blue, pink, yellow and orange give each crew its own identity, while the intricate dot work and hand-drawn detailing invite you to look closer. From a distance the composition is bold and graphic; up close, it reveals an extraordinary amount of texture, pattern and individual mark-making. There is a wonderful tension between the precision of the racing shells and the freedom of the water around them. The boats surge forward with purpose while the currents twist and tumble between them, perfectly conveying the excitement of a race where every stroke counts and the line is getting ever closer. Part of StuART Storey’s new Rowing Series, Race For The Line combines contemporary abstraction with a very recognisable sporting subject, resulting in a piece that feels lively, distinctive and unmistakably Storey. An added feature of this original is its versatility: the composition has been created so that it can be hung in any orientation. Portrait, landscape, or turned completely around, there is no prescribed ‘right way up’ — allowing its owner to choose the viewpoint that works best for them and their space. A striking, colourful original with movement at its heart, Race For The Line celebrates competition, teamwork and that final determined push for the finish.
