Darrell Hagan is a self-taught artist whose work explores a variety of interesting themes. He has worked in the Minneapolis Arts District for the last 15 years and continues to be a vital member of the community. His work examines the idea of environmental change and its affect on the many different animals and people that belong there. His work shows a respect for the surrealist masters that have come before and pays homage to artists of the twenty-first century.
His acrylic paintings allow the viewer to feel as though they might walk into the scene by utilizing space and wide openness as a major part of the composition which makes the art about the hidden meanings inherent in the work. His intriguing command of color forms a common denominator throughout his body of work. It allows him to capture the provocative narrative between subject and surroundings. His spin on traditional figure work gives the work a presence that is both striking and seductive.
