Aaron ford lives and works in London, UK. In his work, Ford suggests that painting can be utilised as a reference point along a historical timeline, locating recurrent iconographical symbols and detecting their presence within contemporary visual discourse. By this logic what is projected onto the past reveals attitudes towards the present; the people, art and architecture that migrate to us find themselves loaded with the baggage of our cultural experience. The imagery found in Ford’s paintings originates from various sources, and recently includes personal images or photographs. These usually contain friends and family, providing a more tender response to the practice of collecting images to paint. All these processes create a visual lexicon which then forms a body of work, linking the varied subject matter within a closed conceptual loop.
