The Levee (2025)Acrylic painting by Kiro

90 x 70 x 3.5cm (unframed) / 90 x 70cm (actual image size)

£681.22

This is a work that embodies the fragility and uncertainty of existence. The predominantly white background is torn by a black line that seems to rip the canvas, like a swollen river bursting its banks. Like a bottomless abyss, it swallows the colors on its edges, erasing light and security. It's a powerful image that evokes the feeling of loss and disorientation one experiences when the dam of stability collapses. "When the dam breaks, there's no place to stand" is the heart of the work, a warning about the precariousness of life and human vulnerability. The painting seems to ask: where can we find refuge when security fails? The answer seems to be: nowhere.
