Artist Aaron Gilbert on circumventing the rules of capitalism.
is a Cuban-American artist who lives and works in Brooklyn. His work is symbolic, spiritual, and enigmatic, and finds relationships between the transcendent and sacred and modern everyday life.
I’m not totally sure why I do that, but I think it is something that points to a mythological reading. It’s leaning on older traditions of painting that were more about the symbolic, where the architecture, the scale, the figures, in fact all the decisions were made to show different hierarchies of meaning instead of to dazzle you with how realistic they could be. So that might be one answer. Another is this shell, our exterior, and then there’s this thing inside it that we identify as the self.
But when you talk about these intimate relationships, these moments between people, it did inevitably remind me of early Italian Renaissance painting where there are these quiet moments that become revelations, both for the subjects in the paintings and also for the viewer. Is that a model for you?
