The title, A Flower Through Concrete, refers to the organic shape on the right-hand side of the composition and the sense of movement up the painting's edge, contrasting with the solid, textured black of the main body of the work.

This painting was selected from thousands of entries by the Cologne based Galerie Biesenbach and included in their group show ART MATTERS 5 in 2022. The series of exhibitions champions the best in contemporary art from around the world.

With roots based in drawing, this collection of abstract work explores solidity, texture and form, produced using a limited palette allowing focus and direction. Set within the context of social and political instability, and using that as starting point, the paintings depict forms that at first glance appear quite solid, some even being walls of black paint, but on closer inspection give a sense of their fragility and impending collapse.
