Aaron Wrinkle

Aaron Wrinkle, born 1978, Aurora, Missouri
Aaron received his BFA in painting from the Kansas City Art Institute and an MFA in Studio Art from CalArts. At CalArts various spoken word, guitar and object-orientated performances were carried out weekly. For his final project he restored CalArts’ former dean Douglas Huebler’s 1977 Volvo with his father, an auto refinisher. The Volvo was exhibited in 2015 at Night Gallery in L.A. In the last few years his focus has returned to an intuitive and somewhat surreal approach to drawing and painting. His works and projects have been featured and reviewed in ‘Artforum,’ ‘ArtJournal,’ ‘Artnet,’ ‘ArtScene,’ ‘Interview Magazine,’ ‘LA WEEKLY,’ ‘Modern Painters,’ ‘Notes on Looking’ and ‘The New York Times.’ He has collaborated with Raymond Pettibon and his work was published in the New Museum’s ‘Younger than Jesus Artist Directory’ by Phaidon Press in 2009. Aaron currently resides in Chinatown, Los Angeles.
