Aaron Smith

Aaron Smith is a painter from California who is doing the Fauvist style of paintings in a whole new way. Their seriously some of the coolest paintings I've seen in a long time. The bulk of his work is bold color based painting in blotches and bursts that are almost kaleidoscopic in scope. I am almost reminded of Mattises early work when I look at them.
