Hidell Brooks Gallery in Charlotte, NC, Hosts an Exhibition of Works by Eric Aho
Hidell Brooks Gallery in Charlotte, NC, is
pleased to announce their first solo exhibition for Eric Aho on
view through Dec. 22.
Eric Aho studied at the Central School for Art and Design in London,
England and received his BFA from the Massachusetts College of
Art in 1988. He completed his graduate work supported by a Fulbright
Fellowship from 1991-1992 in Finland. He received the John Koch
Award for painting in 2000 from the National Academy Museum in
New York. Eric lives and works in Saxtons River, Vermont.
Eric Aho's recent paintings are abstracted and simplified representations of winter skies, field edges and buildings which revel in the uncertainty of natural forces and teeter between night and day, warm and cold, intimacy and distance. Aho states, "Painting in the landscape relies on stories, the history of the people, places and other paintings as much as it relies on interesting and compelling forms and light. It has to do with mixing observation and study with discovery and imagination. My encounters with people on site compel me to investigate new connections, wherever I may be, between my personal association with a place and the collective memory and history which is retained in the landscape and revealed throughout the process of painting."
