Oh My Heart depicts two lovers who face and embrace one another in a blissful state. Set before a crisp, sky blue background, the duo appear to be carved out of color streams that radiate in a loosely concentric manner. As in many of Aaron Johnson’s paintings, these figures appear simultaneously angelic and ghostly, inhabiting a magical, psychedelic dimension. A bird flies from one figure’s heart towards another, while arcs of repeated eyes look towards a celestial body situated between their foreheads. The work tells of a love story between individuals whose shared connection with the forces of nature causes them to meld into a state of non-duality.
This marks ART FOR CHANGE’s second partnership with When We All Vote, a non-profit organization whose mission is to increase participation in every election and to close the race and age voting gap. In conjunction with the online exhibition, ART FOR CHANGE will donate five percent of the unframed purchase price of sales through December 1st, with a $10,000 minimum commitment, to support When We All Vote’s mission to increase voter participation in this crucial election year.
