Smile

“Smile” by David Kirkman is about finding happiness—both in feeling and form.

There really is a smile beneath the surface, if you look for it. Created in David’s “Abstreet” style, it blends spontaneous, emotional brushwork with graffiti-style outlines to bring structure to the chaos. It’s bold, layered, and open—inviting you to see whatever speaks to you. For some, that’s joy. For others, it’s a reminder that even in the mess, lightness can rise.

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

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.
