Darryl Westly

A multifaceted painter, artist, curator, and human, Westly experiments with elements of hyperrealism, architecture, and visual layering to create a different, more truthful representation of contemporary western culture. Based in New York, Westly is committed to supporting his community, presently focusing his work on art to benefit Beirut after the catastrophic explosion that wiped out a large section of the nation and left 300,000 people homeless, 6,500 injured, and 192 dead. For Westly, art is a form of communication that synthesizes the world around him while giving back to the community.
