Artist Daren Hill's body of abstract paintings and sculptures explores complexity in form, creative decision-making and celebrates the creative process. His work echoes the myriad interactions that make up our reality and seeks to balance the relationship between artist, subject and art object. Join Daren and Vine Arts Center in the experience of fine art construction, deconstruction and abstraction. Below the Surface explores the vibrant relationships between form and its deconstruction. As compositional elements begin to combine, initial decisions affect the overall composition. Deconstruction of layers and colors from each piece emphasizes the idea that nothing is fixed. "This constant evolution of texture and color is a microcosm of how our universe operates. Every part is working with one another to create a harmonious union between tool, canvas and medium. This balance is beneficial because it highlights duality (good/bad) and the unexpected nature of life," explains Daren. In a way, this artwork is a study of how an initial action or decision is a catalyst for what follows.
