“Ajay worked throughout his life to grow art on a fresh shoot from tradition’s roots.”

DRISCOLL BABCOCK GALLERIES presents ABE AJAY: ALPHABET. Ajay (1919-1998) was an artist who reveled in precision and intricacy. He often described his dialogue with imagery as rooted in an “Alphabet” of shapes and forms. Those shapes and forms initially derived from found objects, but soon matured into three dimensional objects of his own design that he organized to construct his sculpture. Ajay created combines to exacting standards – utilizing his foundation in graphic design and commercial art to distill the interplay of control, intuition, and accident. This exhibition traces his patterns of movement through that alphabet, a conversation with his own thoughts and a consideration of the infinite possibilities hidden within finite variables.
