Step into the electrifying atmosphere of “FRiNGE!25,” a dynamic mixed media artwork by Riley Vandervest, created in 2025. This piece, measuring 18 inches by 14 inches with a depth of 0.5 inches, is presented on canvas, capturing the bold energy of a live performance at the Green Bay Fringe Festival 2025. Inspired by the artist’s persona as RiLEY RAGE!, this work pulses with the raw excitement of the stage.

“FRiNGE!25” explodes with a striking palette dominated by neon yellow, a vivid nod to the outfit worn during the performance, contrasted against deep blacks and hints of crimson and white.

The composition features jagged, angular strokes and splatters that suggest the frenetic pace of a performance, with the neon yellow cutting through the darkness like a spotlight, illuminating the chaos and passion of the moment.

The title “FRiNGE!25” celebrates the festival’s innovative spirit and the year’s creative pinnacle, reflecting a personal triumph on stage.
