Aron Namenwirth
Drawing, and to a lesser degree, painting, has been a practice Namenwirth has pursued for over 45 years. The concept of the circle has been a recurring subject in his graphic work since its inception. “A collection of the imagery that comes to mind: tree rings, a clock, the moon, the sun, the Earth, the eyes of my beloved, knobs, flowers, pearls, stars, molecules, atoms, targets, as well as abstract ideas such as zero. Other evocations include nipples, waves radiating from a stone skipped across calm water, and much more.” says Namenwirth.
Influenced by artists like Paul Klee, Kenneth Noland, Jake Berthot, Jim McShea, and Tom Moody, drawing and painting was the central focus of his life until about 15 years ago when his passion for growing trees and playing the guitar took precedence and began to influence his approach to his art. This shift followed the passing of his mother, Cynthia Bloom, also a noteworthy painter, in 2008.
