Aaron Kasmin and Sarah Shane

Aaron Kasmin is a British contemporary artist based in London.  He studied at the Chelsea School of Art in London and has exhibited in New York, Paris and London. He works with coloured pencil on paper, watercolour and oil paint. Inspired by mid-twentieth century original matchbooks, Kasmin brings new life to these ephemeral objects with his bold coloured pencil drawings. Deriving from his penchant for America’s chic post-war prohibition era, these miniature drawings reflect the rise of America’s consumer culture.

“My aim is to celebrate the vigour and vitality of pure painting. The paintings tend to be cyclical in their development and although superficially appear entirely abstract they could be seen as painting dependent on external reference - from rhythms and structure in music and dance, to forms from nature. The works accumulate perceived experience and translate into colour /painting correspondences”.
