AARON SCHWARTZ

​
Aaron is a South Florida native, born and raised in Miami. He has seen more angles of the city than anyone as a location scout for 25 years in the film and television industry. Over that same time span he has been creating unique artwork with unorthdox materials and challenging his own perspective on just about everything. Aaron has created a way to combine his photography with his love for painting. His most common used medium can be best described as ink painting on photographic paper. 

Aaron has mastered his own technique he calls “Photo Peeling”, which refers to the method used to peel (or fade) images on photographic paper. He then paints with ink over the remaining image to create the overall painting. Each section of his artwork is done independently, and then put together to create the final masterpiece.

​Much of Aaron’s work is done using Sharpie markers and highlighters which were readily available while developing this process. He continues exploring different applications of this ink with paper towels, tissues, & sponges which give his art the textures in the final piece. In some of the finished work, the original photographic image is unrecognizable, but other times it is still visible. You may need to get close to the art to see some of the images underneath the painting. Every now and then you can find a buried image that will change the meaning or perspective of the whole piece.
