Forrest Kirk’s Fist 7 (2020) is a compelling mixed media work executed in acrylic and Gorilla glue on canvas. A monumental clenched fist dominates the composition, set against a vibrant pink backdrop. The form is fragmented and stylised, with exaggerated musculature and cubist-influenced planes, while a graphic eye peers out from within the structure—an emblem of surveillance or awareness. This powerful visual language reflects Kirk’s ongoing engagement with themes of identity, resistance, and Black empowerment. Fist 7 resonates strongly with his broader oeuvre, which often reclaims figuration through bold, textured materials and charged symbolism.
