The Eclectic Works of Aaron Fu

Multi-talented local artist Aaron Fu’s works range from meticulously executed embroidery, textbook-ready biological illustrations and whimsical Asian-inspired ink drawings. “Sometimes it’s hard to believe that a human hand has created his works because of his precision,” says curator Nance Daniels. “In terms of art, if the contest is human vs. machine, Aaron wins, because his work is as precise as any machine could be and yet driven by the hand, mind and soul of an imaginative human. Maybe that’s the bottom line for me in art. I want to detect some of the artist’s soul in the work.”  Performances include live music by the Darnell Boys and readings by members of the Athens Writers Association, who will share pre-existing pieces that fit the perception of Fu’s art as well as new works inspired by the pieces. The exhibit will be on view through Friday, June 20. This free event is from 7–9 p.m.
