Aaron Scheer
“The tension between analog and digital, natural and artificial, abstraction and figuration is at the heart of my practice. I’m using digital worlds and traditional methods simultaneously, in order to expand what painting can be and mean today.” – Aaron Scheer
Aaron Scheer questions the idea of the human in technology and the technological in humans, increasingly focusing on the aspect of digitally mediated nature. In a world where digital transformation is advancing at a rapid pace, nature is increasingly perceived and understood through the filter of digital (human-made) technologies. The boundary between the “natural” and the “artificial” seems to be dissolving.
Scheer's works show organic amalgams, landscapes dissolving into data streams, architectura city fragments, and mythical scenarios somewhere between abstraction and figuration, analog and digital, painterly craftsmanship and industrial production. Aaron Scheer is thus a “Grenzgänger” among artists, constantly seeking to unlearn painting in order to learn it anew.
