Aaron Young — Burnout (Black Angel III, Triptych)
Aaron Young

Burnout (Black Angel III, Triptych)

A visceral and commanding triptych, Aaron Young's *Burnout (Black Angel III)* features the raw, circular marks of spinning tire tracks burned directly onto its surface, merging the energy of performance with the permanence of material. The smoldering rubber residue is encased beneath glass and acrylic on aluminum panels, preserving the chaotic yet hypnotic traces of motion as a formal composition. The work occupies a space between action and artifact, evoking themes of power, destruction, and the aestheticization of force.

rubber, glass, acrylic on aluminium, on three panels
