This artwork is exclusive to Art Republic. Taking an earthier look at the primary colour pallete, Going Mobile celebrates the joys of discovery and visual play. The series takes cues from a child's mobile - a stimulating, sensory experience with endless visual possibilities. Forms and colours, just far enough out of reach to encourage the imagination to fill in the blanks on it's own terms. The paintings are unexplained snapshots. They give the painted surface springboards for the mind to roam and play. The collection is a positive reminder that our experience of life is as joyful and exciting as we choose to interpret it. We all have this choice and with these paintings, Darren encourages us to lead with curiosity.

“As children we experience the world through a lens of awe and wonder. It’s a truly joyful time filled with adventure, exploration and curiosity. Without any preconceptions shadowing our mind, It’s a very honest and highly tactile way in which we experience our existence. As we develop towards adulthood, our creative spirit can become curtailed as we find ourselves being more self-aware and more self-conscious. Our preconceptions of the world around us tend to guide our decision making and definitions of ‘what is’ and ‘what is not’ can often become the compass in which we navigate our experiences of life. My mission is to make tangible this sense of unchained creative freedom and use it to encourage and revive the limitless possibilities of an adventurous mind. When we re-imagine our surroundings, we open doors to new thoughts and creative opportunities. Integrating this mindset into our every-day lives can enrich our worlds for the better, and my artworks serve to transport it’s viewers right to the VIP section!”

He embraces the endless possibilities that an adventurous mind provides, and that is clearly reflected in his art. Darren says of this: "When we re-imagine our surroundings, we open doors to new thoughts and creative opportunities.

What is a limited edition?
So you’ve found your perfect limited edition artwork, but what does this actually mean? Limited editions are original artworks that an artist creates in a particular print medium, such as a giclée print, screen print or photograph. Our limited edition artworks are specifically created by our talented artists with a maximum edition number in mind. The term ‘limited edition’ refers to the total number of artworks that are available for that particular piece. The edition size can vary widely between artworks, however most of the time our artists create editions in small numbers ranging from 10 to a few hundred.
