Explosive Clarity by David Kirkman
Title: Explosive Clarity
Artist: David Kirkman
Size: 1200mm x 900mm
This painting captures a moment of explosive clarity — like an emotional storm breaking into light. At first glance, it's wild and turbulent. But look closer, and you'll see the flow, the direction, the intention beneath the chaos. It's a visual metaphor for those moments when everything feels overwhelming... but something beautiful is forming underneath. It speaks to resilience, to embracing the messy middle, and trusting that contrast creates depth, in both art and life. It's where chaos becomes catharsis.
