    A visceral dance between chaos and control,

    a fearless exploration of life’s contradictions.

    Born in Belfast, his paintings carry the weight of a city marked by conflict and resilience. With bold gestures and dense, layered surfaces, Doran distills the rhythm of disruption—where silence collides with noise, and clarity dissolves into uncertainty. His colours are unapologetic, his forms restless; abstraction and figuration wrestle for dominance, mirroring a fractured world. These works do not resolve—they invite us to linger in the tension, to find meaning in disorder, and to confront the raw, unfiltered emotion of lived experience.
