There is strong atmosphere and a sense of air to all the work, they are scenes you can step into. They contain the heaviness of a baroque painting, the elegant sensibility of a classic children's book and all seemingly a part of a greater narrative. The subjects seem all exist in some indistinct time in the 20th century. I can't quite point out what it is but his paintings feel distinctly American and is reminicent of artists like Edward Hopper, Charles Sheeler, and Grant Wood and all seemingly from a greater narrative.

These 3 catalogs each represent a different solo exhibition at Arcadia Gallery in New York and illustrates some of the key pieces from nearly a decade of work and although we do not often carry exhibition catalogs, these 3 mini books/pamphlets are currently the closest things to a collection of published work by Mr. Wisenfeld.

Short of purchasing an original or a limited edition etching by Aron, it would not be a bad idea to edit and frame the individual pages, and keep another set intact for safe keeping and collecting purposes. No that is not a sales pitch but merely a practical suggetion.
Aron was Born in Washinton DC, grew up in Santa Cruz California, went to school at Cooper Union NY and Art Center Pasadena. He was also a successful comic book artist before he became a fine artist.
ARON WISENFELD ARCADIA CATALOGS



Aron's images are haunting and even at their small print and shelf friendly ratio, they exude awe and beauty. I feel qualified to say this because I have had the pleasure to see his work up close several years ago and It is difficult to describe what it is about Aron's paintings that are so engaging. Often solitary figures in austere and overcast backgrounds, all his paintings have mood.

It is difficult to gauge how much photo reference if any that Aron uses but whatever the case, he has a strong grasp of the form and subject matter, as is illustrated by his well thought out preliminary drawings which he creates out of charcoal and graphite and are masterpieces in themselves.

However one dissects Aron's work, it is apparent that he is a modern master.
