Raised in Beijing and fresh from a residency in Kunming, China, Jonathan Aumen creates detailed views of the vast networks of buildings found there. He is concerned with the idea that manmade organizations, like cities, are a flawed reflection of more perfect systems found in nature. From a single living cell to a massive forest ecosystem, nature achieves what man attempts. The paintings serve as a beautiful message of concern as humanity tries to organize its massive population.
This exhibition is organized by The Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA). MOCA would like to thank Jonathan Aumen and The Runnymede Corporation for their help in realizing this exhibition. Join us for a free opening reception on Thursday, November 7th from 5-6:30pm. Enjoy light refreshments and meet the artist.
