Sallion, D’Arcy

As a visually impaired artist, D’Arcy Sallion creates textured, multi-sensory experiences from discarded materials, breathing new life into what others might overlook. His sustainable practice celebrates the beauty of imperfection and invites viewers to reconsider their relationship with the environment.

For D’Arcy, art serves as a refuge from the digital world of crashing computers and viruses—a tangible way to connect with the earth and express creativity through touch and texture.

D’Arcy’s texture is very unique, made with recycled waste materials such as recycled plastic, style foam, garden moss, fake fur and PVA glue in a sculpted display on canvas. It brings uniqueness to his paintings, Using this texture technique allows for many layers of colour within colour.

D’Arcy’s work is deeply informed by personal travels and trekking adventures through the stunning landscapes of the Lake District, Cornwall, Wales, Derbyshire, and Herefordshire to the beautiful tropical shores of the Caribbean.

D’Arcy believes that art possesses the power to heal, inspire, and connect.

Through a visual impairment, he has been gifted a unique perspective on the world one defined by touch, texture, and the subtle interplay of light and shadow.

By translating this perspective into tactile landscapes, D’Arcy invites viewers to step away from the visual alone and experience the world anew.
