American Dream is a solo exhibition by Dallas-based artist Douglas Darracott. Exploring the tension between place, identity, and national symbolism, Darracott’s latest body of work examines the ways we construct and curate our environments, both physically and psychologically. His paintings depict familiar yet highly considered spaces, offering a nuanced reflection on the aesthetics of belonging, tradition, and collective memory.
Rooted in a documentary-like approach, Darracott’s work draws inspiration from American scene painting, documentary photography, and the quiet tension found in artists like Edward Hopper and Rackstraw Downes. His compositions examine the built landscape, questioning how homes, neighborhoods, and curated spaces communicate personal and national identity. Presented in a grid-like format reminiscent of quilts or geographic maps, American Dream plays with the tension between uniformity and individuality, order and fragmentation.
