Darren Hearne

 Darren Hearne graduated from the Surrey Institute of Art and Design in 2000 and already has work in several private and public collections.  His paintings are based on childhood memories and experiences, especially of landscapes, and he uses a wide variety of materials including oil paint, varnish, glass, sand, shellac and spectre gel.  For Darren, erasing a mark is just as important as making one, and he sees the process as recreating, revisiting and reappraising his childhood.   This process means he tends to work on pieces over several weeks or even months.  This new collection shows a development in Darren’s work to a slightly looser composition, with a more transparent texture revealing a broader colour palette.

 Now working in IT, Darren has had his paintings sought for commercial premises and has had several exhibition during the last two years, mainly in the London area.
