Aaron Curry — Masks (Pixelated Sorcerers)
Aaron Curry

Masks (Pixelated Sorcerers)

Curry's four-part work layers ink, gouache, and acrylic on paper to conjure fragmented, mask-like forms that hover between primitive ritual and digital abstraction. The title's reference to "pixelated sorcerers" is made visceral through the artist's jagged, interlocking shapes, which suggest both ancient ceremonial objects and the glitched geometry of a computer screen. Housed in Curry's own painted wood frame, the work extends its visual language beyond the picture plane, collapsing the boundary between artwork and object.

Medium
ink, gouache, acrylic on paper, in 4 parts, in artist's painted wood frame
