NY Artist Aaron Young

We love him for his looks, his style - and last but not least, his incredibly diverse artistic talent "...a pure exploration of America and masculinity—minimalism on steroids.” He has exhibited internationally with the Gagosian gallery and is currently showing at The Company in Los Angeles. Young is also part of James Franco’s REBELexhibition at LA’s MOC.
