Migration of Joy

‘Migration of Joy’ by David Kirkman, a large statement abstract artwork

Life constantly shifts. Through the fusion of abstract expressionism and street art, this artwork pulses with movement and change. Layers of colour and bold strokes mirror the way our dreams and goals shift over time, shaped by experience and perspective. Joy, like everything else, is not fixed, it migrates, adapts, and redefines itself. This painting invites the viewer to embrace the fluidity of life, finding beauty in its ongoing transformation.

Created with acrylics and spray paint. Framed in white frame as pictured

Unframed size = 100 x 150cm. Framed size = 106 x 156cm

These pieces are part of David’s ‘Abstreet’ collection, which is a bold fusion of abstract expression and graffiti-style. A vivid escape from the everyday and a celebration of life, uniqueness, and our personal journeys. Each piece begins with instinctive, emotion-driven brushstrokes, then sharpened with graphic outlines that add contrast, rhythm, and attitude. It’s a visual reflection of the chaos and clarity that shape us, especially for those who feel deeply or think differently. This collection is about more than colour; it’s about connection, energy, and embracing who we are, loudly, joyfully, and unapologetically.
