Aaron Williams "All The World Is Renewed By Fire"
Meulensteen
This event has ended.
Brooklyn-based Aaron Williams' first exhibition consists of works on
canvas, works on paper, and sculptures. Each of these works emerges from an epistemological universe created by the artist as a generative conceptual framework. Williams imagines the natural world through the eyes of a pair of teenage characters. The world they see teeters on the verge of destruction: in particular, forest fires animate many of the compositions. It is unclear whether these fires, indicative also of potential rebirth, have been set by the characters or if they simply reflect the world as it appears to them.
