Darren B. Singer’s abstract paintings are built from a visceral layering of charcoal, oil, oil stick, and cement — materials that lend weight, texture, and emotional charge to each surface. These works are raw and expressive, often marked by bold gestures, drips, and dense color fields that pulse with intensity.
Paintings feature circular forms and curved lines in warm yellows and browns, layered over textured backgrounds. The brushwork is loose and rhythmic, and the hanging strings and raw canvas edges suggest impermanence and vulnerability. In a more saturated work, fiery reds and deep blues swirl together in a storm of color, with dripping paint and thick impasto creating a charged, atmospheric field. Darren B. Singer’s works feature bold, layered compositions — one with thick, flowing strokes of red, blue, and black on a rough, worn canvas, and another combining floral fabric, cardboard, thread, and printed fragments in a stitched collage. Cement adds weight, while oil stick and charcoal energize the surfaces with dynamic mark-making.
Singer’s use of mixed media transforms each canvas into a site of emotional excavation.
