Tangerine Ripples Beneath is a 6x5 foot oil-on-canvas from the Organic Movement series, featuring tangerine strokes burning across a cool blue field. Utilizing oil-soaked thread instead of brushes, Raj creates forms that resemble solar flares submerging beneath an oceanic surface. The work explores elemental contradictions—fiery yet quiet, fragile yet authoritative. Resonating with Joan Mitchell’s color storms and Anish Kapoor’s tension between surface and void, the piece utilizes intuition and gravity to produce inimitable fluid forms. Ultimately, this tactile abstraction serves as a study in opposites, inviting viewers to find a meditative balance between movement, rest, control, and surrender.
