In Sound into Color, presented by Arete Gallery in New Hope, Aniello reveals a visual-art practice that is deeply connected to his work in music. His paintings are bold, immediate and emotionally charged. Each canvas carries its own rhythm, with layers of color, gesture, texture and imagery moving together much like the elements of a song.

For Aniello, producing a record and creating a painting begin in much the same place: with a feeling that demands expression.

The materials may change, but the discipline remains remarkably similar. In the studio, he works with melody, tempo, instrumentation and the human voice. In his paintings, those elements become line, color, movement and form. A dynamic build within a song may emerge visually as accumulating layers of paint. A sudden shift in rhythm may appear as an unexpected mark or collision of color. Tension and release—the forces that carry a listener from verse to chorus—are equally present within his compositions.

Both practices are ultimately about arranging chaos until something honest emerges.
