New York, NY (1888PressRelease)
September 28, 2008 - Canadian artist Aaron W. Lacey to show his latest work in New York, at the Agora Gallery from October 1st to the 21st. Lacey is donating 70% of proceeds from the sale of any painting that may sell from the Beyond Borders exhibition, an exhibition of Fine Art from Canada, (October 1 – October 21, 2008 / reception on October 2), to Art Start (www.art-start.org) and to Sentebale (www.sentebale.org).
Agora Gallery describes Lacey’s work in the following terms, “Aaron W. Lacey creates remarkable artworks with a mixed media process that incorporates moulding pastes, clothing and acrylic paint. While evoking consumer culture as in Pop Art and the untamed aesthetics of Abstract Expressionism, each piece has an individual character based upon the materials that he is working with. The petrified state of the fabrics appears nearly archaeological while its textures and folds create a visually dynamic force within the work. By varying his process Lacey is able to create a swath of fascinating effects, from bubbling metal to glistening flower petals.”
Lacey’s approach to art merges his passion for all that is beautiful and sensorial with science, the artist explains "My work is unique and rare because I have fused science, art and fashion," he states. "All my work has texture for the purpose of touch."
