Candyfloss (2025) Original Mixed-media Painting by Lu Dixon

An explosion of colour, texture and playful energy.

Candyfloss is an original mixed-media abstract artwork that explores the relationship between bold colour, layered textures and spontaneous mark-making. Vibrant shades of sunshine yellow, fiery orange and vivid pink combine with charcoal black and soft hints of white to create a composition full of movement, contrast and visual intrigue.

Inspired by the playful lightness of its name, delicate pink forms drift across a richly textured surface, bringing a sense of softness and spontaneity to the structured geometric patterns beneath. Repeated shapes, distressed marks, grids and layered impressions create depth and complexity, inviting the viewer to discover something new with every look.

Balancing the sweetness of candyfloss pink with the intensity of orange and yellow, this piece brings together contrasting elements in a way that feels both expressive and contemporary. Its imperfect edges and tactile-looking layers celebrate the beauty of experimentation, giving the work a distinctive character and an energetic, uplifting presence.

Candyfloss is a statement piece for collectors who love contemporary abstract art, expressive colour and mixed-media compositions. It would bring warmth, personality and a vibrant focal point to a living room, creative workspace or modern interior.

An original artwork, created to be enjoyed as a unique expression of colour, texture and imagination.
