Eric Aho at DCMoore Gallery

Atmosphere, light conditions and seasons shift to absorbing effect in Vermont-based painter Eric Aho’s landscapes, sometimes in the same painting.  In ‘Headwaters,’ white patches close to the painting’s surface appear to be effects of the waterfall, while at bottom left, water appears to both drop and rise from the side of the cascade.  Perceptions alter as we look, creating a dynamic image that engages as it challenges interpretation.  (On view at DCMoore Gallery through Nov 10th).
