AARON CURRY: TIME TO TUNE YER HEAD

art

Maybe we are more than a month away from Miami art week, but the curators from theBass make sure year-round to bring the new and cool art to this widely visited vacation place. Last week’s opening of artist Aaron Curry “Tune Yer Head”, curated by Leilani Lynch, brought us back to our favorite spot on the packed and sunny Collins Avenue.

The Texan born artist, continues to explore blurred lines between his first art memories influenced by Picasso, Calder and cartoonist Basil Wolverton and personal experiences throughout his life, mixed with skateboard and sci-fi culture and his deep awareness of the space and the matter.

On the way to abstraction, Curry uses vibrant colors - red and yellow, as a backdrop for his subliminal collages made of pop culture heroes like Worf (the iconic sci-fi character from Start Trek) or weird cutouts in Dadaistic sense that assumes curiosity and tension.

Trained as a painter, but widely acclaimed for his large-scale sculptural works, Curry takes us on this colorful intrasellar trip navigated by unknown cosmic locations, while deconstructing relationships among shapes, using explosive colors and art memories. Which makes trip on his “Cosmic Bricoleur”, 2016 work and perhaps start a dialogue with Miro about transcending “The first Surrealist Manifesto”, into far away universes collecting unknown galaxy dust, objects and materials and declaring this fantasy that Curry marvelously staged for spectators.

Make us dream and acknowledge our deepest impressions based on assumption that maybe everything is already there as Joan Miro once said:

“I invent nothing, it’s all there.”

Tune in and check it out!!!
