Darren Wardle's cinematic landscapes depict furniture and other decorative elements with an almost obsessive finesse. The artifice of the hyper-real environments he creates is heightened by Wardle's trademark use of synthetic colors and graffiti, which serves as a delirious counterpoint to the austerity of much Modernist architecture. The resulting interior and exterior spaces are almost schizophrenic, their components fractured like Cubist paintings, offering a shifting view of loneliness and failure that underlies contemporary society.

Darren Wardle's work captures empty urban and domestic landscapes in super-saturated, Day-glo colors. Reminiscent of sets for a science fiction film, and the cold perfection of architectural plans, Wardle's work is heavily influenced by the landscape of Los Angeles, his adopted city, much like Ed Ruscha before him. His depictions recall haunting, post-apocalyptic compositions that add an emotional element to the typically serene landscape genre. The recipient of Arts Victoria and Export and Touring grant for solo shows at Stephan Stoyanov Gallery, Wardle is working as an artist in residence at Point B Worklodge in Brooklyn.Read Less
