University of the Arts London (MA Painting , 2019)

London-based artist Darren MacPherson is a dynamic force in contemporary art, seamlessly blending elements of figurative and abstract styles. Utilising a mix of acrylics, oils, and spray paint, Darren’s artwork is a reflection of his diverse artistic influences, which range from Pop Art, Japanese street art, cartoons, Indian art, and Abstract Expressionism. His paintings feature recurring characters such as birds, femme fatales, punks, and devils, all brought to life with vivacious colours and bold lines.

Darren studied a Masters in Painting at the University of the Arts, London, and he has since emerged as a leading name in contemporary figurative and abstract art. His expressive and colourful acrylic and spray paint work have garnered recognition from renowned publications such as Time Out, which praised his boisterous style, and Saatchi Art, which awarded him the prize of Artist of the Day. Degree Art has also included him in their prestigious list of Ten Artists to Watch.

Drawing inspiration from a wide range of sources, including nature, architecture, and Italian Renaissance painting, Darren’s work is a true reflection of his endless creativity. With acrylic and oil paint at the heart of his process, Darren's saturated tones and thick textures imbue his art with an unparalleled sense of expressive energy. His art is a perfect representation of the boundless potential of contemporary art and will continue to inspire and captivate art enthusiasts worldwide.
