Aaron Parazette (b.1960, Ventura, California, based in Houston, Texas). Across his oeuvre, Parazette employs stretched-out, undulating forms alongside bold juxtapositions of color, often limiting each canvas to no more than three or four hues. From 2004 to 2008, his abstract works featured text, including elongated phrases in Helvetica font. Following the conclusion of this series, Parazette extended his investigations of form and line into shaped canvases, frequently combining multiple panels to create one work.
Parazette has had solo exhibitions at the Texas Gallery, Houston; Mark Moore Gallery, Los Angeles; Angstrom Gallery, Dallas; and Finesilver Gallery, San Antonio. His work has been included in numerous group shows including The Smart Museum of Art, Chicago; The Loggia Gallery, Toronto; Hall Walls, Buffalo, NY; and Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions. Recent exhibitions include: Nine Rhomboids and Two Words, Talley Dunn Gallery, Dallas (2016), Flyaway: Texas Artist of the Year, Art League of Houston, Houston (2012), North Swell, Dallas Contemporary, Dallas (2011).
Aaron Parazette lives and works in Houston where he is a professor at the University of Houston School of Art.
