Aaron Fink a fait sa formation artistique au Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture (1976), au Maryland Institute’s College of Art(BFA, 1977), a l’École d’Art et d'Architecture de l’Université de Yale (MFA, 1979) et a l’Institut Aspen (1997). Il fut l'artiste en résidence au Centre d’Art de Anderson de 1996 à 1999. Il est aussi le récipiendaire de nombreux prix tel que le Prix de Rome (1979).Il fut aussi récipiendaire da la bourse offerte par The National Endowment for the Arts (1987).

Les oeuvres séduisantes de Fink, représentants des object présents dans nos vies quotidiennes, nous apportent subtilement à revisiter ce dont nous voyons a tous les jours mais oublions d'observer. Étant plus que de simples représentions de, par exemple, roses ou de fraises, ses sujets se transforment en intermédiaires entre le spectateur et un monde riche en formes, couleurs et textures; familières mais soudainement un peu étrangères.

Ses oeuvres seretrouvent dans des musées et des galeries partout aux États-Unis et en Europe.

Aaron Fink received his formal artistic training from the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture (1976), the Maryland Institute’s College of Art (BFA, 1977), the Yale University School of Art and Architecture (MFA, 1979) and the Aspen Institute (1997).He served as an Artist in Residence at the Anderson Ranch Arts Center from 1996 to 1999. He is also the recipient of numerous awards including the Prix de Rome (1979) and a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts (1987).

Aaron’s iconic images of everyday objects challenge us to evaluate what we see and what we think we see. To call them simply paintings would be an understatement. He uses common objects as subject matter and, along with his deft handling of paint, creates evocative illusions of form, colour and texture. It is because of these qualities that Aaron Fink is considered one of America’s contemporary masters.

In addition to his numerous museum exhibitions, Aaron exhibits regularly in solo and group shows in galleries across the United States and Europe. His work has also been presented at the prestigious Art Chicago at Navy Pier, The Art Show at the Park Avenue Armory, New York and the Foire Internationale d’Art Contemporain (FIAC) in Paris.
