Ben Darrah

<p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">My name is Ben Darrah. I am a visual artist whose work focuses on the poetic nature of colour, form and texture and in particular orphaned cultural references, such as traditional camouflage pattern's wide spread non-military use in urban settings.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">I was born in London, England and immigrated to Canada with my family in 1968. I grew up in Edmonton, Alberta and graduated with a BFA from the University of Alberta and received my Masters of Fine Art at the University of Windsor. Between degrees I travelled widely while making and studying art. During 1988/89 I used London, England as a base for travels throughout Europe, including visits to Turkey, Sweden, Italy, Germany, Greece, Austria, Holland and France. Upon my return to Canada, I set up my studio in Kingston, Ontario and wrote art reviews for the alternative newspaper, Between the Lines. In 1991 I spent six months with artist Veronica Desjardins at the Fuent&eacute; Studios in Competa, Spain. My professional credits include Manager of Gallery One in Toronto's Yorkville district and teaching at the postsecondary level at the White Mountain Academy in Elliot Lake. In 2002 I returned to Kingston and to a fulltime career as an artist with part-time teaching stints at Queen's University (2004) and ongoing at St. Lawrence College. I am currently working part-time as an elementary teacher for the Limestone District School Board.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;">Adept in a range of media, my work incorporates painting, assemblage, installation, print and photography. I have shown in Ontario and Quebec and mys work can be found in private and public collections in Canada, United States, England and Australia. I live and works in Kingston, Ontario.</span></p>
