While Aho works from his impressions of the landscape, he also draws upon major pillars of art history—such as works by De Kooning and Goya—to define his compositions. Recent solo exhibitions include Eric Aho: In the Landscape at the Federal Reserve Board, Washington, DC (2013); Translation at DC Moore Gallery in New York City (2013); Transcending Nature: Paintings by Eric Aho at the Currier Museum of Art, New Hampsire (2012); and Eric Aho: Ice Box at the Brattleboro Museum and Art Center in Vermont (2009). His work is included in the permanent collections of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, CA; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, MA; among others. Aho’s paintings have also been shown internationally in Ireland, South Africa, Cuba, Norway, and Finland, among others.
