Fil Earthstomp (British, b.1976)
Cosmic Rainbow, 2005
Acrylic on canvas
Art: 48 x 30 in (122 x 76 cm)
Frame: 54 x 36 in (137 x 91 cm)
This bold and visionary abstract painting by Fil Earthstomp radiates pure energy and motion through its hypnotic bands of colour. Deep crimson and luminous orange are counterbalanced by waves of ultramarine, emerald, violet and turquoise - forming an almost cosmic pulse that seems to expand beyond the frame. The composition is divided into two distinct fields, symbolising duality and balance: the left side evokes depth and introspection, while the right bursts with dynamic vitality.
The rhythmic forms and saturated palette reflect the artist’s background in electronic music and psychedelic visual culture, creating a sense of harmony between sound and vision. Earthstomp’s intuitive use of colour and space captures a meditative, otherworldly state - a visual translation of vibration and frequency.
With its striking symmetry, contemporary minimalism, and vibrant aura, this piece makes a powerful statement in any interior, whether modern, mid-century, or eclectic. It embodies the essence of British subcultural creativity from the early 2000s - visionary, experimental, and emotionally resonant.
Overview
This painting presents a striking exploration of symmetry, tension, and chromatic vibration through a language of pure geometry. The canvas is divided vertically, creating two hemispheric entities that face each other across a narrow, charged divide. Each side contains concentric ovals and sweeping arcs of colour, echoing yet opposing one another — a visual dialogue of balance and contrast. The left field moves inward through cooler tonal transitions; the right pushes outward, emboldened by the assertive red that dominates the central axis.
At its heart, the work investigates polarity: interior versus exterior, motion versus stillness, expansion versus containment. The formal discipline of hard-edged abstraction is softened here by an almost organic rhythm, suggesting that beneath geometry lies emotion, and beneath order, pulse.
⸻
Composition and Structure
The canvas reads as two visual chambers separated by a slim vertical partition — green bordered by darker tones. On the left, nested ellipses of turquoise, teal, chocolate, violet, orange, and off-white pull the eye toward a serene cyan core. This side feels introspective, inward-drawing, meditative. The right side counters with outward projection: a red field vibrating around its own concentric structure of green, black, yellow, and teal.
The central green divide is crucial — it’s the painting’s spine, a moment of compression between two forces. The geometry is not static; each arc curves with measured elasticity, creating a sense of breathing space between the forms. Despite its formal symmetry, the painting avoids rigidity — it’s alive with oscillation.
⸻
Colour Theory and Emotional Resonance
Fil’s chromatic orchestration is deliberate and precise. The red dominates emotionally, its intensity both grounding and destabilizing. It speaks of heat, passion, and vitality. Against it, the cool cyan of the left core operates as a visual counterbalance — a calm center to red’s fevered energy.
• Orange and violet act as transitional harmonics, bridging warmth and depth.
• Green serves as mediator — both the color of life and the visual hinge.
• Black and yellow, on the right side, sharpen the focus, injecting optical tension and brightness.
These color fields are laid down in broad, confident bands — their edges clean but not mechanical, their surfaces matte and absorptive. The energy is radiant yet contained; the hues seem to hum rather than shout.
⸻
Conceptual Reading
The dual structure can be read metaphorically — as a psychological diptych or even a cosmic one. The painting might represent dual states of being: interior reflection (left) and external engagement (right). It could be seen as the artist’s meditation on the unity of opposites — the reconciliation of serenity and fervor, intellect and instinct.
The interplay between the two sides invites the viewer to participate in an act of visual negotiation: the eye oscillates between calm and intensity, balance and disruption. The work therefore operates not as two halves, but as a single continuum — one breathing organism in two chambers.
⸻
Technique and Execution
The surface is executed with clarity and restraint. There’s no visible brushwork or texture; Fil’s control over medium allows the geometry to command attention without distraction. The smooth application emphasizes color relationships over gesture. Each form sits cleanly within its neighbour, producing an optical depth through sheer chromatic layering rather than illusionistic shading.
The compositional integrity — the near-perfect mirroring of arcs and spacing — recalls the precision of mid-century abstractionists such as Ellsworth Kelly or Victor Vasarely, though Fil’s emotional temperature runs warmer. There is less mathematical detachment and more visual empathy — geometry with a heartbeat.
⸻
Mood and Experience
Viewed in person, the painting radiates presence. The red central plane exerts physical warmth, while the blue ellipsis at left emits a cooling calm — the viewer feels caught between two magnetic poles. This push and pull generates the psychological charge that defines the work. The longer one looks, the more the painting appears to breathe — the edges vibrate subtly as colour frequencies interact.
The experience becomes meditative, hypnotic even. It rewards slow viewing: the shifting relationships between color bands emerge gradually, revealing an inner architecture of balance and resonance.
⸻
Curatorial Note
This piece demands generous spacing and neutral surroundings. It should be displayed with a balanced light that enhances color saturation without glare — ideally under soft diffused daylight or LED with warm bias. Its horizontal format encourages eye movement, making it particularly effective when hung at midline height in a minimalist setting.
When paired with Fil’s other geometric works, this canvas acts as a keystone: it bridges the emotional with the structural, the intuitive with the mathematical.
⸻
Wall Label (excerpt)
Fil’s 2005 abstraction orchestrates color and form into a meditative duality. Two ovoid systems face one another across a central axis, their dialogue between red heat and blue calm evoking balance through opposition. The result is both architectural and emotional — a vivid exploration of symmetry, energy, and the quiet drama of color in motion.
