"Alberta Eye Care presents Prescience | Daren Todd as the clinic's first exhibition of 2023, and the second in the clinic's quarterly art series since its relaunch in 2022. Please join us for an evening of art and eyewear, with complimentary refreshments. Daren Todd will be present, hosting a one night only artist's market exclusively featuring Todd's merchandise. 

Acrylic painter and muralist Daren Todd is pushing his limits into a third dimension through hand carved and fitted wall sculptures of wood that exist as an amalgamation of several of his creative expressions. PRESCIENCE (pree:shee:uhns) is defined as 'the human anticipation of a course of events that in turn do occur" -- or, seeing the future, if you will. "Geometric, abstract, and colorful" are adjectives that continue to thread a line from Daren's past work into this collection, and with a plethora of titles and motifs referencing love, change, and growth, PRESCIENCE gives unique insight into the artist's current emotional landscape. 

Daren Todd is a Portland, OR based creative whose artistic practice focuses on painting, murals and digital illustration. He owns Art Larger Than Me, an ever-evolving art firm that serves as an extension of his practice and encompasses community engagement and events, teaching, facilitating, and of course, creating art. Daren’s work focuses on abstract expressionism and graphic portraiture, and the juxtaposition of both styles into cohesive paintings, murals and illustrations. Daren has produced a handful of murals around the Portland metro area, each with different objectives from educational to decorative. While Daren’s work ranges a few different styles, all of his pieces feature bright color palettes and bold clean lines.

Prescience | Daren Todd appears as part of Last Thursdays on Alberta." (Promo Copy)
