He works in a variety of formats that include pen and ink drawings, acrylic paintings on canvas wood, and mixed media objects.</p> <p> </p> <p>His creative process is a mixture of works on paper, acrylic paint, found objects and non-toxic hot glue, which creates a three-dimensional effect on any surface that gives a sense of realism and presence in his artwork. Darrell refers to this optical artistic illusion as “Definism,” which in his opinion portrays various differences in human nature from life’s everyday dramas to humankind’s quest to understanding the self.</p> <p> </p> <p>“My artworks transport viewers from the doldrums of their daily reality to a visual interpretation of another reality,” Black explains.</p> <p> </p> <p>Black was born in Brooklyn, New York, and grew up in Far Rockaway and Brentwood, Long Island.</p> <p> </p> <p>Black has been featured in many local, national, and international group art exhibitions. He has artwork permanently displayed in a number of art galleries, museums, and other institutions worldwide. His artwork has also been displayed on a billboard in New York’s Times Square for the exhibition “SeeMe Takes over Times Square 2014.”</p> <p> </p> <p>Black continues to draw and paint in pursuit of his artistic dreams. He’s a member of the Veteran Artist Program abroad (EuroVAP).</p> <p> </p> <p><img alt="" src="https://www.highbrowmagazine.com/sites/default/files/2darrellblack.jpg" style="height:535px; width:377px" /></p> <p> </p> <p><img alt="" src="https://www.highbrowmagazine.com/sites/default/files/3darrellblack.jpg" style="height:535px; width:379px" /></p> <p> </p> <p><img alt="" src="https://www.highbrowmagazine.com/sites/default/files/4darrellblack.jpg" style="height:535px; width:379px" /></p> <p> </p> <p><img alt="" src="https://www.highbrowmagazine.com/sites/default/files/5darrellblack.jpg" style="height:535px; width:379px" /></p> <p> </p> <p><img alt="" src="https://www.highbrowmagazine.com/sites/default/files/7darrellblack.jpg" style="height:535px; width:401px" /></p> <p> </p> <p><strong><em>For more information about the artist, visit: <a href="http://darrell-black.pixels.com/" style="color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline">http://darrell-black.pixels.com/</a></em></strong></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Highbrow Magazine</strong></p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Tags:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/darrell-urban-black" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Darrell Urban Black</a></div><div class="field-item odd" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/contemporary-artists" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">contemporary artists</a></div><div class="field-item even" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/new-artists" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">new artists</a></div><div class="field-item odd" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/artworks" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">artworks</a></div><div class="field-item even" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/american-artists" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">american artists</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-author field-type-text field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">The Editors</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-pop field-type-list-boolean field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Popular:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">not popular</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-photographer field-type-text field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Photographer:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">All images courtesy of Darrell Urban Black</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-bot field-type-list-boolean field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Bottom Slider:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Out Slider</div></div></div> Mon, 22 Feb 2021 00:08:03 +0000 tara 10180 at https://www.highbrowmagazine.com https://www.highbrowmagazine.com/11286-art-darrell-urban-black#comments
