Aaron Kovalcsik is a multimedia designer currently residing in the Boston area. He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Visual Communication from Kendall College of Art and Design of Grand Rapids, MI. The faculty at Kendall chose him for a solo show and awarded him the exclusive ‘Studio Excellence Award’ for graduating at the top of his class. In 2004 he left Michigan with fellow artists from 280 Studios, an artist collaborative that started in the Grand Rapids area. During the next 4 years Aaron helped develop and create fashion shows, art battles, artist parties, and collaborative events throughout the US. Meanwhile a set of quirky characters developed within the pages of his sketchbooks. Drawing on life experiences to fuel the ideas behind these colorful illustrated characters the art soon began to develop into a very unique world.The concept behind each illustration derives from our empathetic nature and uses this quirk of humanity to cause the viewer to project emotions onto objects, animals, and creatures. Every character is caught in an intrinsically profound moment that is at the crux of their entire life. At this moment the artist lets us swap roles from viewers to voyeurs allowing us a peek into their thoughts and emotions. Aaron currently exhibits across the East Coast and also sells at art festivals throughout the year. For more information on the artist and his work, please visit MonkeyChow.com
