Aelita Andre Horsehead Nebula Acrylic on Canvas 18” x 18” Asteroid Acrylic & Mixed Media on Canvas 30” x 30” At four years of age, abstract expressionist artist Aelita Andre is the youngest professional painter in the world. Using acrylics and mixed media, she creates large tableaux of abstract forms as she swirls, spreads, and pours paint across the canvas. She often incorporates bark, twigs, children’s toys, bird feathers, and other found objects into her paintings, lending depth and texture to the overall effect. Her technique ranges from the principles of child’s play through to a thoughtful, serious, reflective and contemplative approach. She selects a canvas and various paints in her studio and then proceeds to apply her own methods to create her works. Employing wildly abstract techniques, she uses her hands, various brushes and implements, and even her feet to spread and drip the paint. She paints scenes and objects from her imagination and memory, which she often describes aloud as she works. Additional objects are added to the paint as she sees fit. Despite her youthful age, Aelita has produced a vast body of work: over 250 paintings, many of them on large canvases. Her precision and compositional skill, informed by the innocent vitality and energy she brings to each painting, have garnered her 80 ARTisSpectrum Aelita in her Studio international attention, both by renowned art critics and within the global media, and she has been invited to exhibit around the world. When interviewed on 60 Minutes, Australian art critic and Associate Professor of Monash University Robert Nelson described her work as: “magical, incredible, and joyful, with a gestural vivacity.” Panorama Magazine has named her “Jackson Pollock reborn.” Inspired by space documentaries, favorite movies, art exhibitions she has visited (such as those featuring the work of Salvador Dali and Ron Mueck), and her world of imaginary play, Aelita uses surrealistic techniques of automatism and accidentalism, the latter pioneered by Andre Masson and practiced by such renowned artists as Dali and Pablo Picasso. The difference is, of course, that since she is only four, she operates
those materials that lie before her. Colors are pure and forms unfettered, resulting in an immediacy and spontaneity that renders each painting unique. Yet underlying her free approach is a real attention to both composition and form, a testament to her intuitive artistic prowess. Andre’s paintings are both contemplative and powerful, providing a window into the emancipated creative subconscious mind of a child. Aelita is of Russian heritage but currently lives with her parents in Melbourne, Australia. She is the youngest member of NAVA, the National Association for the Visual Arts. www.aelitaandreart.com www.Agora-Gallery.com/Artistpage/ Aelita_Andre.aspx Aelita in her Studio naturally in a subconscious state and doesn’t need any of the artificial or forced inducement that other artists sometimes employ to achieve similar effects in their art. For her, the immediacy and spontaneity she captures in her images are the result of pure creative energy, free from the hyperconscious linear and self-critical state that so many artists battle. What makes Aelita’s work so compelling is the lightness that pervades her work, a carefree approach that remains completely innocent of anything except The Portal of Tranquility Ronald DeMuth Younghee Hong Tristan Pauli Debra Trafton July 26 - August 16, 2011 Reception: Thursday, July 28, 2011 © Debra Trafton New York Met - I 36” x 24” 530 West 25th Street, Chelsea, New York, NY www.Agora-Gallery.com 81 ARTisSpectrum
