111.76 x 127 x 5.08cm / 96.52 x 127cm (actual image size)

£3,117.46

This dynamic painting shows dramatic movement and suggests a joyous and free dance, perhaps even flying or falling with a possible backlit sky. Matissian red dancers are sampled with other figures joining in. This painting works on many levels and is open to many interpretations. The colors are stunning and they pop amongst each other. A grid of lines appears to contrast the swirling movement.

This is an original, one of a kind artwork by Darren Jekel. It is signed, titled, and dated on the back side. A Certificate of Authenticity is included. This artwork has hardware installed and is ready to hang out of the box.

Darren Jekel is an American oil painter from California and is emerging steadily in the bay area art scene. Solo exhibitions of his paintings include the notable Dolby Chadwick gallery in San Francisco and he has over 300 of his professional level artworks cataloged. Jekel is in the historical position of being both the student of the ground breaking pop artist, Wayne Thiebaud, and the leading member of the Bay Area Figurative movement, Manuel Neri. Jekel has an MFA degree in painting from the prestigious art school, Maryland Institute, College of Art. He is married with two daughters and lives in California’s wine growing region just north of San Francisco.
