February Exhibit: Aaron Craig
For our February exhibit we've gone halfway around the world to bring you Australian painter Aaron Craig! We are certain you'll love the combination of pop culture iconography, retro flair, and extraordinarily clean brushwork featured in his new solo exhibit, "Road to Joy."
Be sure to save the date for the opening reception on February 8th as Aaron is bravely leaving Australia in the summer to travel to Chicago in the dead of winter to be there! DJ Sean Doe will be playing a live set too!
Works will be available first to members of our Gallery Previews email list. Sign up at previews.rotofugi.com

About the Artist
Aaron Craig is an Australian pop art painter based on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland. His paintings are recognizable by the recontextualized blend of pop culture that aim to give the viewer a strong sentiment of nostalgia. Forging together elements from cartoons, comics and product packaging until they become familiar at first glance, but at a second look are completely unique, he aims to create a rich new visual world that is seamless but ultimately shouldn’t exist. He references his art style as ‘Pop Mash’.
Aaron studied Fine Arts at Newcastle University before ultimately finishing his tertiary education with a bachelor degree in Visual Communication Design at Queensland College of Art. These two degrees helped forge his super flat painting style with a discernible colour palette and strong sense of balance.
Aaron has made artwork for clients including Disney, Mattel, Marvel, Sony BMG, Sesame Street, and Mr Men. His work has been shown in solo exhibitions in Melbourne, Hong Kong, Los Angeles and Taiwan, as well as shown in group shows throughout Australia, Europe and the United States.
