Pacific Breeze II

Ajerman’s visceral handling of paint is not expressive in the traditional, art historical sense because of its skillful precision, however he uses the tactile viscosity of the paint to energize the ordered and manicured settings.

Ajerman holds his MA, Fine Art, Slade School of Art, University College London, and has attended the Yale at Norfolk Summer Art Program, Connecticut, New York Studio School of Drawing, Painting and Sculpture and the Corcoran School of Art, Washington DC. The artist is the recipient of various awards including the UCLA Kitaj Research Fellowship in 2018, the Manhattan Graphics Center, SummerINK Scholarship, 2012-2014; British Institute Royal Academy Award, 2003; and the William Newman Memorial Painting Award, 1996. Ajerman’s artwork is found in The Ruth Borchard Collection and international private collections. American, B. 1977
