tarp on wooden stretcher bars
A tarp is stretched tautly over wooden stretcher bars, its synthetic surface transformed into a field of pure, vibrant color that invites comparison to the tradition of monochrome painting. The work's industrial material takes on an unexpected luminosity, its slight variations in hue and texture rewarding close looking. Bobrow's choice of a commonplace, utilitarian object challenges assumptions about what constitutes a beautiful or worthy painting surface.

- "In the end I think they functioned as monochromes for the viewer, each differing slightly in color and appearance. This variety interested me. I found the colors to be vibrant, pure, and encompassing—completely synthetic beautiful surfaces." Aaron Bobrow, 2014
