Forced Through (2026) Original Acrylic Painting by Gera Dunachie

Forced Through is built around two opposing forces meeting under pressure, with neither allowed a clean resolution. A structured composition of cool greys, muted blue and black, interrupted by a strong passage of amber-gold. A dark diagonal spine carries the painting, while a curved breach and scratched marks push against its underlying order.

Its strong structure and controlled colour make it well suited to a contemporary living room, study or office. The amber-gold brings warmth and visual energy, while the cooler palette keeps the overall presence balanced and easy to live with.

I'm a London-based abstract painter working with acrylic and mixed media on cradled wood panel. My paintings build through layering and reduction. They tend to be geometric in structure, with colour that moves between cold restraint and moments of warmth and friction.

I have aphantasia and synaesthesia, which means that I can't visualise in advance and colour arrives as sensation rather than image. Each painting develops through that process, with earlier marks and decisions left visible in the surface. What remains is what earned its place.
