Original artwork description:

"Fever Pitch"
Oil on canvas,
30 x 40 inches,
2024

Set against the rain-slicked backdrop of a grim urban courtyard, Fever Pitch captures a visceral moment of eruption, an explosion of motion, violence, and unspoken codes. Figures in matching red hoodies surge into the scene, their movements sharp, angular, almost choreographed, converging on a central act of impact. Paint becomes blood, gesture becomes rupture, and time blurs into a cinematic stutter. The background looms with decaying architecture and ghostly graffiti, but the real story is in the tension: of group allegiance, of chaotic momentum, of something going too far. Here, Riley Waite paints not just a clash, but the fever of it, the adrenaline spike, the irreversible charge of the moment before control is lost.
