NEW ROCHELLE, NY — Chelsea’s Agora Gallery will feature the original work of New Rochelle artist Aaron C. Stone in Realms of Figuration. The exhibition opens on September 16 and run until October 7, with an opening reception on September 18 to which all art lovers are invited.
About the Artist
An electric expressionism animates the work of American artist Aaron C. Stone. Resolute in his deep conviction that art and beauty is found in every aspect of everyday life, Stone paints from his soul, pouring out his inner feelings onto the paper. Often taking people as his subjects, the artist conjures a dual portrait in these works, articulating both the essence of a person and his experience of them. Stone is not satisfied with merely capturing a physical likeness; instead, he strives to communicate his subjects’ spirits. Working with a broad, bright color palette, he paints in a style akin to that of German Expressionist Egon Schiele. Like Schiele’s, these figures are sinewy and strong. Beginning each of his works with a sketch, Stone allows his compositions to take form fluidly, working through intuition and instinct. “I enjoy the process of evolving my emotions through my art, which results in creating movement in each piece,” he explains. Within each of his works is a conflux of feelings, a vivid picture of the human condition.
Aaron C. Stone lives and works in New York.
