Darren Pinder, Artist
At the age of 16, Darren turned down an offer of a place at Leeds Art College and decided begin his career as a designer and illustrator at one of Yorkshire’s leading design studios. In his free time Darren, continued with his love of painting and at the age of 21 held his first exhibition.
Darren then diversified and entered a very successful career in illustration . Through this he was contracted to Hallmark Greetings Cards, where much of his focus lay in fine art imagery. In turn, this re-ignited his love for painting and a realisation that it was time to pursue it as a career.
Darren’s subject matter is wide-ranging, with much of his early work being travel based. He likes both architectectural and natural landscapes and is constantly looking for new locations for landscape subjects as well as interesting settings for city life compositions. He strives to achieve a direct response to his subject matter, using spontaneous and unrefined brushwork, capturing light and emotion, connecting with a given moment in time.
Living in Yorkshire, Darren is surrounded by inspiring landscapes and intends to make this a focus of his future work, having a passion for uncovering fresh and vibrant subject matter. Working on instinct, Darren believes that a painting is more likely to be successful if it is an expression of what he, the artist feels about something rather than creating the piece to please someone else.
