"Splat!" bursts with energy and attitude, bringing together the bold language of pop art and the raw edge of graffiti. Neon fluorescent colours flood the background, creating a glowing, electric atmosphere that demands attention. Against this vivid backdrop, graffiti-style characters and the word “Splat!” emerge in sharp black outlines, giving the piece a striking comic-book contrast. The work draws on the dynamism of street art and the visual punch of comics and graphic novels, blending playful chaos with a refined sense of design. Created using spray paint, acrylic, and paint marker pen, this mixed media piece celebrates spontaneity, impact, and the unapologetic power of visual sound.
