Darren Jones, Returning Artist at Gallery 444 PTown

Opening on Friday night.

Darren Jones is a Chicago based artist who captures nature’s beauty in his paintings which evoke emotion and a sense of humanity.  Born in Canada, he is a self-taught artist who enjoys working in oil, acrylic and mixed mediums on canvas or wood panels.  He is frequently asked how he began painting. From a young age he has always known that he has the soul of an artist but it wasn’t until one summer day in 2004, while going to movie, he passed an art store.  He did not go in, but noticed a “starter” oil painting kit in the window for sale.  Intrigued, he returned to the store after the movie and decided to make the purchase, one that he will never regret.  He began painting that evening and has not put his brush down since.  In March 2009, after being laid off from his executive position with a travel publication, he has taken the leap to pursue his passion full time! A decade later, he is going strong.

  “The world and its never-ending natural surroundings inspire my soul, my thinking and my work.” Water, gardens and dramatic landscapes heavily influence his work.  Growing up, fond memories of his mother’s gardens and how she tended to them so gently have been the inspiration for many of his paintings over the years.  Traveling frequently, Jones is often moved by novel settings.  “Many of the world’s natural wonders act as a muse.” All of these elements help him create paintings that are impressionistic , abstract and contemporary in style.  

With his current collection shown here, he tries to evoke a sense of place, peace and calm within one’s soul.  Moving from the simple to the complex while maintaining a sense of order. With many of his new pieces, he has incorporated delicate recycled papers, wood fibers, industrial staples, plaster and beach sand mixed with acrylic paints to create a greater depth to his work.

Jones is a supporter of a variety of organizations and charitable events. He helps raise funds through his art for groups that support children, treat mental illness and AIDS/HIV.

Jones’ work is featured in galleries and private collections in 50 countries across North America, Europe, Australia and the Middle East.
