Artist Statement: 

I make wall sculptures out of reclaimed scraps of wood and broken furniture.  I am interested in the joys and challenges of creating harmonious and dynamic compostions with found objects.  I also make paintings that deal with the formal aspects of modern art and design: positive and negative space, dynamism and hamony, depth and surface.

Aaron Kllc's work explores painting and sculpture as a means of expressing primal energies and emotions. Drawing on mid-century art for inspiration, his work ranges from the re-purposing of found objects to pure abstraction on canvas. Returning to the west coast was an affirmation and connection with California Modernism that has become apparent in his work.

Kllc's black and white works oscillate between ghostly abstracted impressions and actual found objects which ignite memories, emotions, and narratives. The resulting effect is a playful and inquisitive conversation that bridges the duality of the literal and ethereal worlds. His background in Japanese Aesthetics is apparent in this discovery: working with the material world is always a reflection of the spiritual.
