Aaron Hauck is a graduate of the Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD), he is now living/working in NYC.

Painting and drawing are a compulsion. Hopefully my work captures something beyond a likeness. Self portraits have been my main body of work and have continued to challenge me. It is a personal exploration of, not only the way I look, but, who I am as a person. I hope that all of my portraits hint at something beyond the physical. The only constant is change.

Mark making, process, an exploration of materials is another facet of my work. I enjoy working from life when ever possible, but using photographs and outside source material are tools I use often. I want to show the journey of art making, it is a give and take process and all that you have to show for the hours, plus everything else, you’ve put into something is the finished piece. I want to keep some remnant of areas I have scraped off paint, moved figures, put in a graph, drawn with a pencil, etc. It all adds to the making of the end.
