Aaron David Smith is a sculptor and painter based in Los Angeles. His new work is best described as “the diagram of a sculpture”… to where he builds a sculpture, flattens it out, and mounts it on wood while maintaining it’s elements of texture, object, and material.

In this new body of abstracts entitled “Manhattan Series,” Downs creates densely layered paintings that dance on the picture plane to openings that disclose colored layers underneath.

The works brings one word to mind — energy, a sense of action.
