Portraiture is the portion of my body of work with the greatest variation of technique. If I do use a similar technique to something I’ve done before, than I’m trying to achieve a different therein. Most people find drip painting to be abrasive and unsettling. I want to use the drip technique to elicit a calm feeling in my audience. Here, I’ve achieved it by sticking to a very restricted color palate. I’ve made my drips represent the face of a woman at rest. And I’ve added pieces of torn paper to imitate snow falling around her. To me, the work functions very well as an abstract painting, allowing it to add only a soft, white noise to the wall. However, if you let that white noise draw you closer, you’ll find a rich painting that represents the inner energy of a woman’s intimate state as she experiences the palpable silence of snow falling.

David Aaron Smith is a 34 year old painter, sculptor, and installation artist from rural Louisiana. He’s best known for the past eight years of his career where he founded Villa Anita in Death Valley, an architectural sculpture museum that invited visitors to stay overnight in “livable sculptures” built almost entirely from repurposed materials. A mixture of installation and performance art, Villa Anita in Death Valley has become a stalwart of ongoing Southern California Junk Dada, and most of the work you see there was made by Aaron. You may have seen more of Aaron’s work in solo and group shows in different parts of California. In the fall of 2019, he took on one of his most ambitious projects for a solo show at Gardenville Station in San Francisco. He spent a week with fellow artist, Katelyn Doherty, and filmmaker, Robin Malo, interviewing people from the Bayview Neighborhood, collecting repurposed and discarded material from that same area, and building sculptural portraits of the sitters. The result became a multimedia portrait of a whole community that is current being eroded away by gentrification and the prospect of bringing in more valuable residents.
