Darren Singer

Oil on wood.

48x24"

This abstract composition distills the essence of industrial architecture into a dynamic interplay of line, color, and form. A diagonal beam—painted in muted greens and yellows—cuts across the canvas, its bolted joint rendered with mechanical precision. Beneath it, a series of angular, triangular shapes evoke trusses or structural supports, suggesting the skeletal framework of a bridge or scaffold.
Singer’s palette leans into cool tones—green, blue, and steel-gray—punctuated by warmer accents that hint at oxidation or sunlight. The brushwork is both gestural and controlled, balancing expressive texture with engineered clarity. The composition feels suspended in motion, as if capturing a moment of tension between weight and support.
Though rooted in mechanical imagery, the painting transcends its subject. It becomes a meditation on structure—both literal and metaphorical. The intersecting lines suggest not just beams and bolts, but connections, balance, and the invisible forces that hold things together.
