Ben Darrow Art & Design
Ben Darrow is an East Texas
native, born in 1980.
After some time spent in
Nashville, Tennessee focusing
on school,
music and writing, Darrow, now
a Dallas resident, is as a
commission
artist and art show
participant.
He has a variety of looks on
canvas, with a dominant flare
in the
contemporary style.
His work is a
collection of modern, color-filled
faces, florals,
and subject matter capturing
images of beauty and "the good
life",
with a churned blend of the
cubist period,
sarcastic charm, whimsey and
in some cases androgenous figures
that he feels is a mirroring image of
all humans.
"There is a bit of everything and everyone in all of us,
what we do with it, is our choice."
Darrow has created quite a following locally and nationally. "My goal as an artist is to create images that evoke positive thoughts and feelings." It is very evident in looking at his works, that he has a sharp sense of balance and arrangement with his use of color and placement in these aesthetic, charming, symmetrical, yet outside the box pieces. Darrow has works ranging in size from small scale originals and prints to large scale. Doing art shows throughout the year, Darrows' work may be seen displayed on a regular basis at various venues predominantly in the Dallas Art Show Circuit.
