Joseph Larkin

The incredibly sharp and detailed artwork of Joseph Larkin has to be some of the most emotive and respected art in the Dark Art community. His portfolio spans many mediums including Sculpture & Jewelry, Oil & Acrylic Paintings, Drawings and Mixed Mediums. Joseph's art has a strange ability to take you back in time, and allows us to feel (if only for a few minutes) that our dreams and nightmares are something we should not let go of when we wake up each morning. His love and appreciation of all creatures gracing this world clearly shows through in his various artworks, yet it's his ability to create his own weird and grotesque creatures that has earned him much deserved aclaim in the movement of Dark Art.

"I create art whose primary objective is to show the viewer a glimpse into other worlds; sometimes Utopian, other times dark and formidable, always possible if not entirely likely. The rooms, landscapes, and skies are often places I have seen filtered through the interpretations of a rabid imagination or floating in the thick primal fluid of "dreamtime". Sometimes elements of the day„lit world permeate my work just as aspects of my pictures quietly invade daily life. I commonly populate these environments with souls capable of the dooms of loneliness, pride for its own sake, the appreciation of beauty, the fear of the unknown and the joy of love."
