Aidan Kearns is a visual artist and aspiring educator whose creative work encompasses drawing, painting and sculpture. In their work, they engage most with the unnoticed, mundane persons, places and objects of American life. Through artistic processes, Aidan Kearns transforms these subjects into meaningful works, which have been showcased in exhibitions throughout the artist’s time in university.

The artist believes through this process they are questioning art’s historical exclusivity. Their work on the right, Yellow Walker, exemplifies this process, taking the simplicity and everyday-ness of traffic signage and transforming it with LED neon into a new, stunning object. By placing value on these unnoticed things, Aidan Kearns aspires to connect communities to the art-world, especially those communities that have been underrepresented.
