EM AULL is an Indianapolis-born painter based in New York City. As a genre painter, his work depicts expansive cityscapes, city happenings, and crowd dynamics, often proposing fantastic scenarios of unbridled freedom. His compositions often feature mass gatherings around entertainment, including wrestling matches, demolition derby, sporting events, or a day at the beach. Aull primarily paints with acrylic, often incorporating mixed media such as bricks, wood, and glass. He generates literal depth through layers of found materials encased in acrylic plastic substrate, incorporating media such as hype stickers from vintage records, lenticular sheeting, and ephemera from magazines and newspapers. The resulting artworks include relevant supplementary materials, generating an ever-evolving archive and personal record. His paintings create a timeline of references, interests, and studies that mark the progression of his practice. These found materials appear in Aull’s compositions as they would in life: a book in the hands of a person reading on the subway, billboards in cityscapes, or the picture on a television screen.
