Artist

Darren Arcanjo

Darren Arcanjo’s work primarily focuses on drawing, painting, and storytelling, influenced by artists known for their emotive narrative styles, including Peter Doig, Paula Rego, Edward Hopper, and Norman Rockwell, as well as the surreal playfulness of Grayson Perry and the Chapman Brothers. His art delves into themes of myth, identity, and perception, exploring both personal and collective narratives that shape our sense of self. Arcanjo examines the fallibility of memory and truth, the cultural constructs that influence us, and the existential fears and anxieties that define modern life, questioning how we perceive reality in an ever-changing world.
