Chris Cran's "Boxer," currently available at ADDITION, is a transfixing study of power and precision. Rendered in cool blues, the boxer's form is beautifully captured mid-punch, a testament to Cran's mastery of capturing energy and the raw athleticism of the sport.

The painting is further enhanced by vibrant pink stripes, a hallmark of Cran's pop-art style, which optically charge the image and create a dynamic interplay of colour and form. This captivating piece invites the viewer to contemplate the delicate balance between control and chaos, aggression and artistry.
