About the Item

Aaron Collier’s abstract paintings are both suggestive and silent, exploring the possibility of paint to simultaneously reveal and conceal. Since 2017 he has been interested in parallels between sense-making at the sites of architectural ruins and what we do before images and other silences. Learning at these sites is a care-driven process of encounter, unearthing, arranging, deducing, imagining, testing, failing, and connecting, in no particular order with no guarantee of understanding. Furthermore, a learned humility before other personal or historical unknowns could advance knowledge and communion beyond the field of visual communication. Collier teaches drawing and painting at Tulane University as an Associate Professor. He has participated in recent group exhibitions at the Contemporary Arts Center (LA) and the Ogden Museum of Southern Art and has been featured in New American Paintings. His paintings are represented in such collections as the New Orleans Museum of Art, Iberia Bank, and the Boston Medical Center. Collier has been selected for artist residencies at the Ragdale Foundation, the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, the Joan Mitchell Center in New Orleans, ISCP in Brooklyn, and OAZO in Amsterdam.

  • Urban Abstraction (ripped off posters) Italian Expressionist Painting on Canvas
    By Andrea Spinelli
    Located in Firenze, IT
    The present work of art titled "Urban Abstraction (ripped off posters)" is part of a series of paintings that the artist composed in the 1980s and 1990s inspired by the observation of the urban reality of those years. The artist take the cue from his walks in Florence, both in the center and in the suburbs, and by the observation of billboards and posters scattered throughout the city. The mass of information, colors, messages and words were carried on the canvas with acrylic colors, ideally reconstructing the tears and overlaps of all the information and advertising contained on these huge sheets of paper that invade our cities. The geometric lines are overlaid with jagged lines, overlaps and color dripping and also the choice in the color palette, with different shades of white, gray, rose, orange red and blue helps in rendering the result of the tears and ripped paper. The result is a beautiful multicolored modern abstract canvas, both aesthetically and ethically, with many rich layers of color, texture and expression in which the artist leaves his own message. The painting is housed in a simple modern white lacquer wood frame. Andrea Spinelli...
