BIO
Alex Aronson is an emerging sculptor based in Los Angeles. He began his artistic journey at the Massachusetts College of Art in Boston, MA, where he earned his Bachelors of Fine Arts in Sculpture. Aronson's education then took him to Italy, where he completed a residency at The International School of Painting, Drawing and Sculpture in Umbria.
Following his studies, Aronson apprenticed at Skylight Studios, outside of Boston, MA. There he honed his skills in every stage of sculpture creation, surrounded by classical plaster casts dating back to antiquity. He then moved to Los Angeles, where he worked as a Material Specialist and Technical Advisor for Reynolds Advanced Materials, teaching moldmaking and casting to beginners and professionals alike.
In 2014, Aronson founded Vitruvian Sculpture Studios, where he spent almost a decade creating private commissions, fabrication, and studio work, specializing in sculpting, molding, casting, bronze portraiture and monuments. Today, Aronson is focused on pursuing his own personal work in fine art figurative sculpture.
