Ben Aronson

Ben Aronson (Born 1958) is active/lives in Massachusetts.  Ben Aronson is known for Modernist cityscape and streetscene painting.

Ben Aronson is a contemporary American landscape artist who paints metropolitan spaces with a gestural attention on the effects of light on cities at rest and in motion. Aronson’s expressionist application of paint is underpinned by a precision that demonstrates a practical eye for realism, but conveys streets, buildings and faceless figures as but suggestions of movement and space. “Perfect spelling alone does not make great poetry,” Aronson says, “just as …. visual facts [do not] alone amount to high art.”

Art critic John O’Hern writes that Aronson “paints the extraordinary effects of light in metropolitan areas where the inhabitants are too busy to look.” Aronson will often rough out value and color studies of spaces en plein air and then work on his large-scale canvases back at his studio.
