David Richard Gallery is please to present Isaac Aden: The Numinous Sublime, a two-part solo exhibition of his most recent monumental paintings. The exhibitions feature seventeen oil paintings, measuring 12 x 27 ft., 12 x 9 ft., 14 x 6 ft. and 5 x 4 ft. These seminal paintings are part of Aden’s series of Tonal Paintings a body of work developed over the past eight years.  The exhibition will be presented in two parts to show the ineffable breadth of Aden’s painting practice with the first the section presents a paintings glowing and decidedly warmer in chroma. Aden’s paintings trace their genealogy from Claude, European Romantic Painting, Corfield, to the Contemporary Art of today. The second part, opening September 9^th, contends with the somber realties frequently faced by the human condition and specifically recalls Rothko’s final masterpiece the Rothko Chapel.
