Aaron Brandt is originally from Fremont, Ohio, and now resides and creates in his Cincinnati Studio.   He received his BA in New Media Arts from The University of Toledo and his MFA in Digital Art from Bowling Green State University. His work is about connection, both with others and one's self.  His practice involves working both digitally and by hand to mix media in order to understand and confront the idea of connectedness in contemporary life.

 

In the studio, he is focused on utilizing digital and analog practices for illustration and photo manipulation in order to convey the messages of mental awakening, connectedness, and understanding communication between systems, internally and in society.  He creates his works by playing in a variety of ways, from utilizing alternative printing methods to combining media and found objects with painting and collaging with found materials and textures. 

 

In his practice, the utility of digital creation is used to gain reference material and run programs to develop the work over time, using similar themes and even reusing motifs from past work. Aaron’s practice strives to develop a style that works in duality, positioning the human connection right next to digital convenience and perfection. He combines humanity and our thirst for a nostalgic connection to the subject matter, with the cold rigidness of digital culture originating from digital function and utility.  It is a play on man and the growing algorithms we develop while wrestling with the surreal absurdity of life.

I work to pass knowledge on to others as an educator.  My work is not only the physical art you see, it is the teaching and sharing of technique and knowledge. Contextualizing and creating work with others is what I strive to do and get better at every day. This is a commitment to learning and growing through life.  Goal-oriented learning has helped me figure out how to explore life and I feel anyone who is willing to try something creative can succeed sometimes you have to change your perspectives.
