“2 Beards” by Aaron Smith.
“I start by reacting to the photographs I collect. I take a very direct approach, applying thick paint to panel. The lack of color of the source material lets me create the color relationships I want. It’s my goal to imbue the figures with bursting vitality despite their stoic poses.” -Aaron Smith in an interview with Advocate.
