Artist Statement:
Darrell Roberts is a
Chicago based artist represented by Thomas McCormick Gallery, Chicago. His
artwork is full of intense colors and textures as he draws his influences
from the lakefront path of Lake Michigan, the Chicago skyline and construction
sites in the city. Darrell Roberts is a painter’s painter. He is
interested in the physical act of painting. Immersed in a life time of art
history, Darrell responds, views and reacts to the mammoth wall size paintings
of the 1950′s. By creating thick visceral paintings, Darrell squeezes
those paintings down to small scale paintings which still have the same amount
of power to capture the viewers attention in the same amount of wall space
while having a Contemporary painting feel.
