Aaron Spangler (American, b. 1971).

This work is offered unframed.

A seasoned woodcarver, this project represents Aaron Spangler’s first print and woodcut. As noted by Ken Johnson in The New York Times, Spangler “uses his extraordinary technique to elaborate profusely detailed, darkly comic visions of rural Post-apocalyptic ruin...he leaves things a bit rough (creating) a magical tension between the raw material and the epic fantasy”. Spangler’s Sculpture Park is no less a rough place. Here, a scrapheap of earlier iconography, burned-out cars, downed power lines and discarded tires shares ground with Constructivist assemblage, Memorial statuary and a weed-infested Horn of Plenty. This Sculpture Park seems located somewhere between a memorial garden down on its luck and a backyard shrine on the way up.
