M. David Aidala paints realistically for the pleasure of elaborating shapes found in nature. However, he uses realism to explore more abstract aspects of beauty, as well, such as that of color. In Red Frieze, for example, while the content is the stately procession of people in line at the coffee shop, the abstract theme is the red gloaming that cloaks it. The painting plays variations on the color red. In Melrose Promenade explores the color violet. Elsewhere, in other paintings, Aidala plays with a full keyboard of hues such as in The Boulevardiers and Twilight Promenade.
Added enjoyments are to be had in the soft gleams of crepuscular scenes like Green Nocturne, or in the cymbal-clash of triadic hues, as in The Golden Crossing. Realism is M. David Aidala's launch pad for all sorts of aesthetic explorations. The fun never stops.
