I’d like to introduce my latest painting, Absolute: Position, an oil painting on a reclaimed mahogany pie crust table top.

Four green leaves mirror each other, weighting the piece at the bottom. Hanging down the center of the piece is a moss-encrusted branch, showing off its thorny side.  A sprig of chamomile flowers grows up from the bottom edge. The flowers also reflect in opposition to the dead branch. The branch and the chamomile are almost touching tips, but not quite. Behind the natural objects are two translucent stripes. Depending on the viewer, one may view them as either dark stripes on a lighter background or lighter stripes on a darker background. Read more below…

The Absolute series of paintings has a tradition of exploring connections we have to each other through personal, yet universal narratives. We fall in love, have intimate struggles, find solace in nature, and navigate personal directions. In Absolute: Journey, I explore what it feels like when we long to capture sensory and emotional experiences in more tangible ways. This painting uses mood and symbolism to narrate the timeless tradition of placing these experiences into our memory. It is a visual description of the sensitive and very personal ways we reflect back on past moments; and how the past is held up to the torch of the future’s light.

Columbus Convention Center Purchases Large “Absolute” Painting

By Daric Gill

It’s my pleasure to announce that my artwork has been selected to be part of a $125 million rejuvenation project that has recently begun at the Greater Columbus Convention Center (GCCC). In September 2015, the GCCC began a massive renovation and expansion project, which includes a 37,000 sq. ft addition of exhibit space. This totals a whopping 373,000 sq. ft of contiguous exhibit space, which is projected to be complete in July 2017. The GCCC is slated to be the 4th largest exhibit space of its kind. I’m quite thankful to be part of this amazing opportunity. “Absolute: Graft”, a 3 ft x 4 ft oil painting on maple, has been purchased for the new edition. Read on for more.
