The Parallax Intervention series sees a move away from the bold outlined works from Darren’s previous studio output. In favour of these hard-edged cartooned features, these works have a more selective approach to their line-work, allowing more space for suggestive compositions and formplay.
The intervention element is evident in the bordered edges around each of the paintings. Their relationship to the inner ‘windows’ and sometimes lack of. In using this dynamic Darren is showing us that you can find portals to the more curious and playful pockets of your imagination anywhere – no matter the distraction.
The paintings in this trio are a blaze with the energy of childhood creativity. The vibrancy of the primary pallet transport viewers directly to the mindset of their most playful moments of youth. Vibrant imagery that is impossible to ignore.
