A man lays in a domestic sense of redemption. The use of a male figure, drapery and alcohol motifs become a reflection of a softer or broken-down perspective of masculinity. The imagery in this artworks doesn’t seem to have a stereotypical portrayal but comes across both as slightly depressive and humorous in approach.
Aaron Peever’s work is captivating in its honest representation. The subject matter portrayed is intriguing with its focus on leisure-times. Sociologically, this is a way to view variances of economic backgrounds. Thus, Peever’s work provides insight into lifestyle and economics through its exploration of alcohol culture.
The visuality is contemporary in a mode rooted in art history. His muted colour palette works brilliantly with the slightly aberrant subject matter to expand on current issues surrounding alcohol culture and isolation. This marks his work as both relatable and expanding of the canon.
