Aron Wiesenfeld's Dreamy Oil Paintings Explore Mystery and Memory

artist · 2026-08-05

Aron Wiesenfeld's oil paintings depict figures in enigmatic, often nocturnal scenes, playing Uno by headlamp, wading into still water, or gazing beyond the frame. His work, characterized by uncanny lighting and hidden distances, evokes curiosity and ambiguity rather than danger. Notable pieces include "Transfer," where a black dog looks away as light illuminates a mother and child, and "Reunion," featuring a crowned boy staring at the viewer. Wiesenfeld is also working on a graphic novel, "La Fuite," to be published in France this September by Gallimard, with an English edition titled "Runoff" from Image Comics next year. Pre-orders for the French version are open. The artist shares updates on Instagram.
