Aaron Wexler's painted collages juxtapose faintly outlined images: a jumping basketball player, a giant butterfly, and a floating fragment of Wright¹s Guggenheim Museum. He operates within a complex matrix of acrylic and paper collage on panel and paper. The ghostly mat acrylic surfaces of his paintings are gently incised and peeled away to reveal playful dreamscapes of free association. All at once his work synthesizes abstraction and figuration, physical and psychological space, optimism and anxiety. He has a BFA from Tyler School of Art, Philadelphia and a MFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He recently had a solo show at One in the Other Gallery in London.
