December Art Opening Featuring Aaron Smith
Artist Statement:
“My paintings are open to perceptions that exist in the subconscious
mind of the viewer, while simultaneously being a direct expression of my own
perceptions.
My use of traditional art mediums, oils on canvas, requires the viewer
to address the space differently than photography. Though my paintings are
strongly representational, the challenge and questioning of “real” is more
persistent with representational painting over the perception of truth in
photography. I try to coax extended attention from the viewer by creating a
formal composition with no direct focal point. My even- handed treatment of the
surface, plus a compositionally dynamic movement of shape and line are intended
to aid in this. I have been increasing the size of my canvases in an attempt to
force a physically engaging size and shape with the viewer’s body. I wish to
create an environment that is semi experiential- I wish for the viewer to feel
as if she can enter the space.” ~ Aaron Smith
