Description

Made of enamel and poured resin, Thunder in the Sun explodes like a solar flare oozing through the sun's corona into freezing space. Netsky's vivid colors - rich dark blues and lipstick red - flow like molten matter against a rich gold. The differing viscosities of the various pigmented materials within the resins cause mixing between some colors and repulsion between others, resulting in a variety of striking effects.
