Untitled (circa 2011) brings together several recurring elements of Dran’s visual language: childhood, street culture and a playful sense of irreverence.

A small hooded child appears spray-painting a vivid red peace symbol onto a grey surface. The contrast between the innocent, cartoon-like figure and the act of graffiti gives the composition its characteristic tension, while the raw background evokes the walls of the urban environment.

Through humour and visual simplicity, Dran often uses the perspective of childhood to question the rules, contradictions and conventions of contemporary society.

Executed in mixed media on canvas, this unique work is hand-signed by the artist.
