Paintings from the artist Aaron Anderson.
Regarding Me
Aaron Anderson
Hello and welcome to aaronandersonfineart.com.
I am a rising artist finding my way into the Sacramento area art scene. I create compelling paintings that command attention and allow for larger thought and implication of things not immediately seen on the surface. My work focuses on the visually commanding - present, striking, and difficult to overlook. I use a strong and varied color pallette and I obsess with my sense of spatiality. Currently, beyond my own artistic inspiration and styling, I draw influence from artists in differing movements to allow myself more flex in how I approach a piece.

"HavaBanana!"
Acrylic Paint on Canvas

Responding to "Comedian", the 2019 artwork by Maurizio Cattelan, I felt compelled to supplant the empty space opposite the banana in the original work with the comedian Groucho Marx swinging his back leg along in comedic gait while rhythmically moving the banana up and down in his fingertips as was his sometime mannerism for handling his trademark cigar.

And yet what does our self-image finally coalesce around? The Jester, suffering or joyous? Forced, pure, or internally divided?" -Aaron Anderson
