The art of Darrell
Gilbert offers diversity and a realism that touches the soul. This is
evident in all of his work whether figurative, abstract, paintings or
sculpture.
His art has touched many lives in Chicago, Illinois
where he was born and raised. He spans from teaching art
appreciation through art expression to troubled youths on Chicago's west
side, to painted murals depicting the strength of black unity on Chicago's
south side.
While living in Atlanta, Georgia, Mr. Gilbert
capitalized on the opportunity to work with Dreamworks SKG, where he
designed a complete collection of figurines created for the animation, The
Prince of Egypt. This collection is currently being sold as limited
edition collectible pieces. He also designed his own line of collectible,
limited edition, figurines (Ebony Memories), which depict positive
reference to African American culture for Coca - Cola and Cavanagh Group
International
Some of the many collector's of Mr. Gilbert's work
include: Tom Joyner of the Tom Joyner Morning Show, designer Jacqueline
McCoy, Bishop Joseph Walker (Mount Zion Church), Dr. Kelli Mollette, Angie
Winans of the Winans family, Eddie George, Randall Godfrey, Jevon Kearse,
Robert Holcombe and Dainon Sidney all of the Tennessee Titans, and Howard
Griffith of the Denver Broncos.
Artist's
Statement
I believe that art is a
very important part of the developing mind of a child. It enables children
to learn and apply their feelings, while producing something they feel
proud of. The growing child is easily affected by their surroundings,
therefore the beauty and information depicted in art, is a very important,
and useful tool in the learning process.
