About Darryl

Darryl is from upstate New York and the once world capital of Photography, Rochester, New York, home of Eastman Kodak. He is a interdisciplinary artist especially as an oil painter on linen canvas. He learned his art on his own, starting with his initial studies of drawing in anatomy class while in college. From pencil drawing, he then ventured into pen and ink, pastels, oil painting, and collage. His early themes were born out of the plight of the homeless in public view. His work over the last 50 years, has ranged from traditional landscape, to puppetry, and the abstract. His latest series of works called ‘Hanging Out’ depicts high rise building sites in and around where he lives in Manhattan, with laborers, suspended in air or as it seems to appear; attempting to depict the intimate synchrony and camaraderie of men proud of their labor.
