Aaron Karp is known for the unique patterns within his paintings, which he achieves by using masking tape to create borders that often change direction, crisscross and overlap. He focuses on abstracted, organic shapes, which he achieves through wildly expressive, yet deeply meticulous brushwork. Says Karp: "Layering itself makes up the central metaphor in my work. The work is about concealing and revealing. It is about the fracturing of color and space, about looking at and into something to extract information and find meaning." The artist received a BA from State University of New York at Buffalo and his MFA from Indiana University. A veteran of numerous group and solo shows, his work is included in numerous corporate, private and public collections. Karp lives and works in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
