Darren Baxter is a London born, Hastings residing artist who has exhibited around the UK for over 20 years. Having trained as an illustrator he hopes to produce visually arresting paintings with an implied narrative in his own signature style, often inspired by nostalgia, contemporary culture and fantasy.
His colourful compositions lead the eye on a tour of the canvas, slowly unveiling a narrative that forms in the viewers mind. His bold colours draw the viewer into frame, with the clever synecdoches offering the opportunity for each story to develop.
