McClain Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of new paintings by Houston-based artist Aaron Parazette. In his continuing series of Color Key paintings, shaped canvases provide a playground for the artist's exploration of color relationships, irrational geometry, and perspective on a flat surface. In casting aside a rectangular support for modern shaped canvases, Parazette investigates the ability of a painting to create space and allude to three dimensions.
The Color Key paintings are at once playful and analytical: engaging the viewer's perceptual process through the implied perspective of geometrical shapes and lines. The diagonal line reappears throughout the paintings as an antagonist, causing points of tension where spaces seem to unfold and then fall apart. Hints of Parazette's surfing background also make an appearance as horizontal lines evoke the horizon of a virtual landscape.
