Today — Aimee Erickson (Portland, Oregon, b. 1967). The first painting in the gallery is her self-portrait. Her work is truly remarkable. In literature, there’s a concept called the “iceberg principle,” introduced by Ernest Hemingway. Gertrude Stein advised him on this technique, something along the lines of, “describe a little, but leave most of it beneath the surface. Let the viewer draw their own conclusions.” Aimee’s paintings embody this approach, and I absolutely love it.
