Wandering Minds Reach the Bounds of Post-Its in Aron Wiesenfeld’s ‘Playtime’

Known primarily for mysterious paintings, Aron Wiesenfeld (previously) has been experimenting with a tinier canvas, packing the same enigmatic energy into the confines of a yellow Post-It. His ink drawings rely on intricate line work and the artist’s ability to convey vast narratives within a three-inch square.

Wiesenfeld’s foray into Post-Its began on a whim, although it’s grown into a vast collection he’s now publishing as a book. Available for backing on Kickstarter, Playtime comprises the entire body of work within 120 pages. (The campaign notably surpassed its goal within minutes of launching.)

In addition to drawings, Playtime contains poems and writing about the series. The title nods to much of Wisenfeld’s preferred subject matter, which often centers on children in a listless state. Rather than partake in a rowdy game with friends, his protagonists are frequently alone, plunking away at piano keys or staring off into the distance. “I think of these small drawings like short stories. They are based on inspiration that I found in daily life,” he says.

Wiesenfeld is based in North Carolina, and you can find more of his work on his website.
