Eric Aho



Eric Aho, Wilderness Studio, End of Winter, 2015, oil on linen, 50 x 60 inches


The work of Eric Aho was first introduced to me recently.  His show, Wilderness Studio, is up at DC Moore until November 4th.  This is also another painting show that is simply not to be missed.  These large, gestural pieces are rich in intelligent color choices and satisfying mark making.  I was really impressed with not only the intensity of the work, but for the allowance of resting space for the eye.  My favorite two pieces happened to be of cabins in the woods in winter.  (Surprise, surprise!!!!)  The super rich blaze red orange paint sharing the canvas with large, flat, complimentary aqua blue made for such an exciting, vibrating image.  I also loved the dark flat shape of the structure, indicating multiple planes of wall with only slight changes in outline angle.  Don’t take my word for it… go to DC Moore on 22nd street in Chelsea and see!!!
