SELECTED QUOTES:
"...Thanks to an original approach to panoramic genre photography, his "cinemascapes" emit a near-Lynchian atmosphere. Hobson minutely constructs his narrative canvases and combines multiple exposures in final images that, distorted, call upon our imaginations' need to fill in the blanks and ellipses of mysterious scenarios."
- Eve Therond, PHOTO Magazine (France/Nov.07)
"... is a small masterpiece of technique and visual writing as are the other works of this artist, who is one of the best talents in America.
Not to miss his website."
- La Repubblica, (Italy 07. excerpt translated from Italian)
"When I first saw Aaron Hobson’s work, I fell for it right away. The pictures are very immediate—there’s no work to get into them, they’re familiar for anyone who’s spent time picking around America’s rust belt, but you linger for a while and notice the care with details and composition."
