ARTINQUIRY The Art of Darrell Fusaro a interviw with Molly Barnes

Artist Darrell James Fusaro, born 1962, in Passaic, NJ, now residing in Culver City is very enthusiastic about this exhibit. This showing at the Jazz Bakery goes up as Fusaro returns from touring Canada, performing his critically acclaimed stage drama THE BASEMENT, which was inspired by the paintings in GROWN UPS. THE BASEMENT is based on the true story about Fusaro's life as an artist rediscovering and uncovering the effects the still unsolved murder of his beloved Grandfather had upon his family and the community. It was while Fusaro was invited to exhibit with ANDY WARHOL in the exhibition SERIOUS FUN, SERIOUS ART, that he began to develop these thought provoking narrative pieces. For more information on Fusaro visit www.DarrellJamesFusaro.comFusaro's series of pastel works applied to wet paper will reunite you with your long lost childhood friends. But be warned -- they've been through a lot since last you saw them, and you may find they're not who you thought they were. In 'Grown-Ups', Fusaro uses the familiar toys to tell disturbing tales of America, his own troubled childhood in New Jersey and, ultimately, everyone's childhood. - The playful toys and the beautiful colors Fusaro uses deceive expectations. These elements lure you in and then before you know it, emotions take over and he puts us back in touch with the equivalent elements in our unconscious, many of which are the same as those in his. Similarly, we come to the gallery as adults, but the depictions of Fisher Price toys send us back to where we started. For the time we stand before the works, we straddle the line between adult and child «
