Get to know current Studio M artist Daric M. Gill on a new episode of our MassMusings podcast! His exhibition, The Absolutes: Big Small Stories is on view through September 21, 2022.

Gill holds a master of fine arts degree from the University of Cincinnati in sculpture and interdisciplinary art, and a bachelor of fine arts degree from Columbus College of Art and Design in sculpture and painting. He is a former adjunct professor at the Columbus College of Art and Design.

The Absolutes is a series of oil paintings on reclaimed wood. The subject matter is intentionally minimal, full of symbolism, and often blends the line between artifact and narrative display.  The series has been exhibited in Galerie Raskolnikow (Germany), Lolo Taller Galleria (Cuba), Czong Institute for Contemporary Art Museum (South Korea), the John F. Peto Museum (NJ), the Edward Hopper House Museum (NY), George Billis Gallery (Los Angeles and Chelsea, NYC), Center of Science and Industry Museum (OH), and the Columbus Museum of Art (OH). Gill’s metal sculptures and portrait paintings have been exhibited alongside the works of Warhol, Picasso, Calder, and Lichtenstein. He has displayed and sold his work internationally. 
 
Gill received the 2019 Artist Exchange in Dresden, Germany; a 2019 Ohio Arts Council Individual Excellence Award; and a 2018 Visual Arts Fellowship from the Greater Columbus Arts Council.
