Press Release

Aaron J. March's vivid primitivism straddles the present and the past by appropriating the forms of urban street art and shapes suggestive of cave drawings. The tension of the "familiar unfamiliar" draws the viewer to Aaron's works, which explore the meaning behind visual arrangements, whether suggestive of contemporary youth culture, or the abstracts which speak directly to our unconscious. And while he embraces the risks of abstract expressionism, Aaron's more fervent works reveal the desire for an anchor: amidst the tangle of thin lines there might be an off-center, more solid shape, or thicker brushstrokes--a foot in the figurative tradition. In this way, Aaron powerfully expresses the contemporary artists' concern with time and place. How do shapes which suggest graffiti and cave drawings speak to us when free of their conventional context?

With daring and skill, Aaron J. March's art is one of exploration and of strongly embracing what has come before but adding a bold, new dimension.
