Aaron Curry: Ugly Mess

Los Angeles-based artist Aaron Curry fuses his interests in the sculptures of Modernist artists such as Pablo Picasso, Henry Moore, and Alexander Calder with his personal experiences of 1980’s mass media, and skating and graffiti culture. 

Composed of intersecting planes of aluminum painted with bright colors in a cartoon-like manner, Ugly Mess is an abstract, surreal sculpture that operates on the boundaries between Modern and contemporary, painting and sculpture, the geometric and figuration.
