For Eric Aho, the most compelling "wilderness" is that encountered in paint on canvas. Premised on the visual pleasures and powers of painting, his work reconstitutes the observed outer world from the perspective of a personal interior. Memory, stories, and observations vie for primacy on Aho's new surfaces, suggesting glimpsed fragments of mountains, fields, water, and woods amidst the extremes of changing seasons. The paintings, which are often large, evoke an uncanny familiarity of place and shared experience through strong color, ambiguities of space, and dynamic mark making. Nathan Kernan writes in the catalogue essay: "the paintings evoke a sense of mystery, pregnancy, of things about to happen, or having just happened; of what is missing, or is hiding in plain sight."
