Hello Everyone
I am Mycah Darling, please excuse the bad hair and no make-up but there are more important matters to attend to like, what to have for lunch, and what the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow is. Thank you for coming to learn more about Darling Anachronism, and the artist behind it all.
Brief Bio
Darling Anachronism is a self-taught Metis Canadian artist. Influenced by many artists, her self proclaimed favourites are Salvador Dali, Tim Burton, Zdzistaw Beksinski, and Ralph Steadman. Darling tends to focus heavily on small details, the veins in a leaf, or a small wrinkle in the skin as she believes, as it is in life, these betray where the story is really being told; The story behind the story, the dichotomy of existence, and the humour in both the joy and fear of existence. She believes you can not truly appreciate life without embracing death, a reoccurring theme in her body of work.
Uncomfortable with being restricted to a specific style or medium, Darling mostly uses paint, ink, pencil, and digital mediums to explore the beauty of nature, the terror of nightmares, and the sensual and perverse aspects of human sexuality. Whether it is to portray the world at its worst, what she wants it to be, or playing with the boundaries of what is, Darling’s art cannot be confined in its evolution. Darling’s work aims to expose the contradictions in our values, encouraging self awareness, compassion, and sometimes vulnerability in the viewer.
