ADEN LAER

Aden returned to manage his fathers business but after several years felt frustrated and bored and thus began a rebellion and quest that would send him traveling the world to find fulfillment through photo-journalistic sojourns shot primarily in black and white. He maintained a studio in Ohio and managed to showcase his work by networking through friends in the fashion industry in New York. He became an avid student of photography, studying and attending artist lectures of many of the masters including Richard Avedon and Herb Ritz.

While traveling through Europe he attended art classes at both La Sorbonne and Witte de With. After being commissioned to paint for several private clients he eventually left his family’s business and moved to Palm Springs, Ca. and began to paint passionately.Using bright bold colors and retro themes his work has been a favorite of designers working in mid-century motifs. His work hangs in many public spaces on both the east and west coast and has been collected by celebrities as well. He has never forgotten his motto which is also his favourite quote from Dali: "paint for yourself,, paint what you love… the rest will follow." He divides his time between  Los Angeles and Guanajuato Mexico.
