Bio

Darren Pollard, originally from Detroit, creates a kaleidoscope of intertwining themes through a wide range of mediums.

At 18, Pollard moved to Chicago, where he purchased his first camera for fifty dollars from a classmate. This sparked his passion for photography, leading him to capture everything in his path and develop a keen eye for both symmetry and its absence.

In 2002, Pollard moved to the San Francisco Bay Area, where he worked as a photography instructor at Contra Costa Community College and as a photography curator at the Joyce Gordon Gallery in Oakland, California.

Returning to Chicago in 2008, Pollard began creating non-objective paintings and collages, eventually affiliating with Gallery Guichard as an artist.

In 2018, Pollard relocated to Harlem, where he focused on developing his artistic process, without selling or exhibiting his work.

After the tragic loss of his beloved son, Isaiah, Pollard returned to Detroit in 2023, where he now resides and continues to work on his art.
