Darren Lago

Darren Lago was born in 1965, in warlsall, Staffordshire, and he works in the Saatchi and Arts school, Darren lago is obsessed with working with ordinary objects including chairs, kettles and shoes to deform our impression of the ordinary type of things in life. He seems to love transforming the balance and colour of natural objects, the merges them all jointly together with other materials to give a value to the normal. It is interesting the way that he works with modern-day but dull materials such as “newspaper and lettuce” which makes them impressive and exaggerated. Darren Lago made a speech  ( http://www.annelyjudafineart.co.uk/artists/lago/lago.htm) saying “Our daily lives are influenced by what surrounds us - the objects in our houses, the chairs we sit in, the cars in our streets, the towers in our cities and the clothes we wear”. I find this speech very inspiring because it gives me even more the impression that Darren Lago uses a very unique way of creating his sculptures due to the materials he uses to create them which allow his sculptures to look and feel different, I believe all his sculptures are part of his greatest designs ever made. Darren Lago stuck everyday items together to develop exclusive and inventive sculptures.
