Aaron Worley is a painter best known for often utilizing long, sweeping gestures of highly contrasting and vivid oil paint colors on large scale mediums. His pictures challenge the notion of having to fit certain lines and brushstrokes into a particular section on a canvas; often the brushstrokes continue in other directions on the surface, failing to reveal either the starting or stopping point. His works contain elements of symbolism and language; paintings in a series are often looked at as words in a sentence or paragraph. These sentences are then further broken down by fast, choppy paint marks and abstracted, energetic motions. "I try to capture a sort of rhythm, becoming inspired by colors I see outside before the sun goes down. Some days, I hope it comes back into the same spot, that the glimpse will still be there," he says. Worley lives and works out of Brooklyn, NY, and is currently represented by Red Arrow Gallery in Nashville, TN.
