Aaron WESTERBERG, 1974 ✿

Aaron Westerberg is an American and oil painter living in Los Angeles, California known for exceptional portraits of women. His work is constructed in the language of the coolly sensual aesthetics of late nineteenth century American painting, the somber gilded beauty of James McNeill Whistler, what we see in Westerberg is a similar way of working with luminous vibrant color, and tonality contrasted with matte areas of pigment.

For Westerberg, time and place aligned in unforeseen ways, igniting a canvas and sparking an impassioned affair with colors, movement, and stillness. Skillfully capturing a singular moment in time, Aaron Westerberg, a classically trained oil painter, actively explores the world of poetry through the use of color, shadow, contrast, and tone.
