Visionary
Aaron Becker
Opening: Friday, March 7, 5 – 9 pm
Through April 26
Visionary features a body of work that encapsulates the artist’s evolution and profound exploration of the material. Aaron Becker’s sculptures and ceramic forms highlight a blend of futuristic visions, childlike dreams, and reflections on societal inclusion. With pieces ranging from domestic fantasy sculptures, or “thought factories,” to intricate contemporary ceramic objects and expressive busts, Becker’s work engages viewers with both playful and introspective inquiries into the future.
Becker’s thought factories evoke childhood daydreams of future possibilities, offering a symbolic disconnection from current realities. These sculptures explore the tension between imagination and what can be achieved in reality, while the artist’s contemporary ceramic forms suggest a harmonious vision of a future grounded in balance. The busts, representing disregarded spirits, urge inclusivity and recognize those often left behind in the conversations about the future. Meanwhile, his hope stones stand as quiet, powerful symbols of optimism.
