Aron Barath: Color is the Dope

Aron Barath’s—represented by our CAI Gallery program—first solo exhibition in the United States of America takes place in Dallas with Galleri Urbane. A chromatic experience in which gossamer strokes of paint, powerful hues, and challenging compositions dazzle the viewer.

Aron Barath—born in 1980 in Novi Sad, former Yugoslavia, working and residing in Budapest, Hungary—continuously examines abstract painting, focusing on color, light, and gesture. Balancing between a structured methodology when it comes to layering the paint and the visible spontaneity of his gestures, the artist communicates his thoughts on feelings without compromise. His creative process is marked by a burst of energy, carried by the substance of paint and the intensity of color, capturing this energy and transmitting it to the viewer.

“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.” (Press release Galleri Urbane)
