tuesday inspiration: aron wiesenfeld
ladies and gentlemen, allow me to present the amazing work of aron wiesenfeld.
besides the familiar subject matter, i also find myself intrigued by his use of light, particularly in the charcoal pieces. it’s a beautiful style mix reminiscent of illustrator chris van allsburg and painter john currin.
