Aron Barath: Color is the dope
January 07 - February 11,2023
From Galleri Urbane:
"Galleri Urbane welcomes Hungarian painter Aron Barath for his first solo exhibition in the United States. Color is dope is a chromatic experience featuring canvases of bold, gossamer strokes of paint. Following his inclusion in the gallery's 2021 group summer show, RIPE, and an extensive list of presentations across Europe, Barath introduces a broader array of hues in his ongoing investigation of color for this exhibition. Developing from a more limited color palette, in this show, Barath utilizes both muted and vibrant colors that splash and streak across canvases. Black, white, and opaque colors filter to the paintings' foreground to materialize colors of light. He combines contrasting hues upon the canvases: some radiate strongly while others cast colors more quietly. The pigments simultaneously display as transparent and impasto — a sublimity crafted by the Budapest-based painter.
Laying his canvases on the floor, Barath uses colors freely, painting with various materials and tools. Tested and mixed himself are water-based paints which allow his multiple layers to all easily be perceived at once. He uses a variety of brushes, brooms, sponges, and sprayers of different shapes and sizes alongside his handmade tools."
