Darvin Jones

Although Darvin would rather be an actor, iron-chef, super hero or astronaut he has embraced his role as an artist. He sums it up; "life is art and art is life, they really are inseparable. I know it sounds cliché but most people have some idealized fantasy of artists - everyday life is where it all happens".

Darvin studied sound art and musicology at Evergreen State College in Washington and earned a Master of arts in soundscape composition at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, Canada. After spending years in the world of sound, he stumbled into painting and found an immediate gratification from the direct tangibility that exists in visual art. Darvin's art emulates a modern graphic design aesthetic and is reflective of the natural design and chaos found in our everyday world. His work explores cultural iconography, appropriation, ecology and the mass production of culture. Within a global climate He seeks to skip the rhetoric of post-modern art as well as the personalized exploration of meaning. Instead his focus is on creating works that cross cultural and personal boundaries while leaving the meaning of the artwork up to you. Ultimately though his philosophy is simple, "I just want to make art that makes myself happy and in return makes others happy. His art is based solely on composition where simplicity, clean lines, the enticement of color and an unrequited passion guide the process.
