Artist Statement:
HELLO WORLD
This IS DARIUS Maurice White
My thoughts, my feelings, my
dreams and aspirations, my
life are revealed through my
sketches.
The story, as for all of us,
goes back to my youth.
When my ambition to become a
star athlete for several top
notch schools didn’t fare due
to arthritic knees I withdrew
and became an isolated
citizen. In my isolation all
I had
was the University of Life, my
society, the mean streets of
Detroit. I sought ways to
free myself from this society
and succeeded when I fell in
love with expressionism, using
art as a voice to show my view
and appreciation of life as an
African American.
At first I expressed my life
as an adopted child, an only
child. A teen orphaned
person. Today, at the tender
age of 40, bald but still
beautiful, young yet old,
playful and serious, loving
and tender as all heck
yet sometimes angry and
ticked off...
I use pen or pencil and
paper to inspire people
to remember the past, utilize
the present and
pray for the future. I want
my art to show people
just when you think the whole
world smells as
badly as ...
