Description

A detailed exploration of Aaron Parazette's artistic journey over three decades.

The fully illustrated monograph Aaron Parazette offers an in-depth exploration of the artist's practice over the past 30 years. Parazette (b. 1960, California) grew up by the beach and in the ocean; his temperament and aesthetics are deeply influenced by "West Coast cool" and surfing culture.

His concerns have spanned beauty, originality, form, space, and colour, oscillating between critique and reverence. At times ironic and at other times deeply sincere, Parazette has created a rich and compelling oeuvre grounded in abstraction, yet with a keen interest in how painting engages with the world.

Featuring commissioned texts and over 100 full-colour images, this volume highlights Parazette's conceptual wit, use of colour, geometry, and letterforms, and his engagement with materials and meaning.
