Aaron Parazette


Bio: Born in Ventura, California, 1960; lives and works in Houston, Texas.
Profil: Abstract painter.
Card: “For many years now my work has addressed two of my longstanding interests: the high culture of painting and the subculture of surfing. Merging these two interests has yielded a range of work – mural scale digital prints of waves, wall drawings of wave and color forms, reductive abstraction referencing the track of a turning surfboard, word paintings using surfing slang as a source, and most recently geometric abstraction referencing the craft and color of surf culture. In all of this work my intention is to use the materials, mathematics, and mechanics of painting to create an experience that is intimate and distant, familiar and foreign, right here right now, and forever longing.”
