Works of art with a chaotic/frenetic aesthetic might incorporate numerous discordant visual elements, clashing colors, odd distortions, erratic edges, erratic mark making, perhaps jarring angular shapes, and/or randomly varied textures.

Artists might manifest a chaotic/frenetic aesthetic in a piece because it suits their temperament, or the artist might choose this aesthetic as a reflection of the characters or settings being portrayed. A chaotic/frenetic aesthetic might also be adopted to make a piece suitable for a setting that demands something chaotic.
