Derek David Baron

B A R O N - Artist

I love the challenge of physically translating a thought or feeling onto a canvas.

His main body of work explores childhood memories, everyday objects or emotions.

“My work has childlike simplicity with layers of complexities.” There are many images, writings and memories buried in layers of paint. Some of these show through, some are faded while others are covered up and forgotten...just like memories.
He aims to create a balance between color and form, usually with only three elements.

Making random marks and scribbles on the canvas, then by pushing and pulling paint and imagery, he’ll often attach a memory to it somewhere in the process.
