Darron J Chadwick
b.1965
Medium : 2-D Mixed-Media

The paintings within my current Series combine my love for ancient architecture and lost civilizations. These images are created using a variety of mediums. First, a photo emulsion transfer is applied as the background covered by a thick coat of gel medium as to insure the image is sealed into the paper. I then overlap and combine gradual layers of translucent acrylic color to create the visual illusion of depth. Next, using various techniques of drawing, painting and calligraphy I create the look of an ancient language. Architectural elements and repetitive geometric symbols along with simulated old-world calligraphic text are applied to create interest. The semi-matte, textured surface of each piece is then finished by adding airbrushed shadows and a high-gloss clear coat that further enhance the illusion of depth and space.

I love "the future of air travel."  You've just been added to my "respect list!"

You have an impressive history.  Keep up the good work.  I know, family can take away precious time for us artists, but I don't seem to mind. I know that I have a few more years and my kid will be out on her own and that makes me sad- and glad.  Love your work.  Very interesting how you approach it. I am assuming that it is even more wonderful to view it in real life.  Especially to see the layers of colors that you speak of.   ttyl
