The beat is flown

"The Beat is Flown" is a dynamic full-length portrait of Holli Curtis, frozen in time as she performs her best Hakken dance moves. The painting captures the raw energy and rhythmic precision of Holli’s movements, her body in perfect sync with the pulsating beats of gabber music. She is set against the vibrant backdrop of @oxalien and @tik_toy's stunning artwork at NDSM Werf in Amsterdam, a location renowned for its rich cultural tapestry and creative spirit. The graffiti-covered walls and bold, expressive street art lend a vivid, almost electric atmosphere to the scene, complementing the high-octane motion of Holli's dance. The painting masterfully conveys a sense of relentless energy and freedom, encapsulating the essence of gabber culture through the synergy of motion, music, and art. Each element in the composition—from the fluidity of Holli’s dance to the striking colors of the graffiti—contributes to a powerful narrative of self-expression and the unyielding spirit of the underground rave scene.
