Original artwork description
Extra-Large semi-abstract and expressive painting.
The painting is a part of my series "Elen’s Circus. Dreams of Flying."
Darren Jekel is a contemporary American artist based in the San Francisco Bay Area whose work navigates the intersection of traditional mastery and expressionist alchemy. Having learned to paint by Wayne Thiebaud at UC Davis and earned his MFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art, Jekel’s practice is grounded in a dialogue with both Pop Art sensuality and Neo-Expressionist intensity. His approach is characterized by a meta-modern earnestness, seeking a balance between the calculated draftsmanship of the Renaissance and the impulsive energy of abstract expressionism.
Unstretched. Shipped rolled in a tube with stretcher bars and hardware ready to assemble. The painting is signed on the back but can be signed on front too if requested.
This painting depicts figures in front of an ocean in the background. The colors and subjects are dramatic and emotional and express great movement and chaos. The work is very gestural with brushwork and the texture is an important element. It has a very contemporary look with writing on the surface and abstracted figures. This painting is sure to enliven the room it graces and is a strong focal piece for an interior design that appreciates unusual, original, and high quality work.
Darren Jekel is married and fathered two daughters in northern California’s wine growing region.
