THE ART OF ROMANCE

A solo exhibition by Darren Stevenson

07.02.24 – 16.03.24

Having originally studied engineering, Darren turned to painting whilst completing a masters degree in fine art getting inspiration from many of the great artists and sculptors which include Schiele, Richter, Auerbach, Giacometti, Moore, Frink and Reg Butler.  But none more so than the great master Joseph Mallord William Turner RA, known in his time as William Turner.

‘If I go to a gallery and see a Turner piece, I can stand for an hour working out how he’s actually painted – where he’s started, why is that colour there and so on. And I try to bring that back to the studio.’

In his work, Darren captures the expressive colours Turner used in his own imaginative land and seascapes  His use of oil and sandpaper give his pieces a great textual quality that perfectly embodies the harsh, volatile and sometimes savage beauty of nature in extreme weather conditions. His wistful brushstrokes not only give a ferocious edge, due to the subject matter itself, but also showcase the wonderful romance of nature.

Darren’s work is exhibited in galleries throughout the UK and collected nationally and internationally.  His work is always extremely popular at Gallery 6 with a growing number of regular collectors.

Darren is very happy to meet our customers, by appointment, at the gallery, during his exhibition to discuss the paintings in the exhibition or discuss any other concepts to commission a painting.
