Aponovich

Artist Bio

Set against beautiful Italianate landscapes, James Aponovich's stunning still lifes alternate between spare and complex compositions of opulent fruits, fabrics, flowers and vessels. Aponovich plays the background (almost a stage-set landscape), against a riot of shapes, colors and patterns to create his brilliantly orchestrated still life compositions.

The complexity, skill and beauty of these tight tabletop arrangements create kaleidoscopic worlds within his canvases. Incorporating recurring elements culled from his home and studio, and a reflection of himself at work, Aponovich adds a personal touch to his paintings. His painstaking technique and distillation of order from disorder has earned him a national reputation. Aponovich exhibits nationwide including group exhibitions at The Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, Il, The National Academy of Design, New York, NY and The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. His work is in the permanent collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, IL, The Arkansas Art Institute, Little Rock, AR, and The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, MA, among others.
