Based in Harlem, Los Angeles, and St. Louis, Aaron Fowler makes large-scale sculptural assemblages composed of a wide range of found materials. With references to American history, Black culture, real and fictitious narratives, and personal experiences, each work is densely layered with meaning and materiality. From ironing boards and car parts to hair weaves and videos, Fowler’s work is imbued with multivalent narratives that seduce the viewer. Employing compositional approaches akin to 19th and 20th century paintings of Americana, Fowler references family, friends, and his own presence in works that are alternately life size or larger than life size.
