Primary Influences: Wayne Thiebaud, who taught me how to oil paint at UC Davis; Renaissance; Raphael drawings; Post-Impressionists, Matisse & Van Gogh; Abstract Expressionists, Willem de Kooning & Cy Twombly; Neo-Expressionist, Anselm Kiefer; Currently I am not relating to Post-Modernism’s irony and I am exploring Meta-modern earnestness. I am interested in meaningfulness and not the ubiquitous decorative painting that is primarily meant to enhance the space it’s in.

Darren Jekel is married and fathers two daughters in northern California’s wine growing region.

Materials used:
