Aaron Sutton's latest solo art exhibit, As Above So Below , features two years of created artwork that portrays the concept of everything that exists in space is what we hold within ourselves and everything that we hold within ourselves exists in space.

Aaron Sutton is a 29 year old multi-disciplinary artist and co-founder of Kansas City's first hip-hop youth organization, The Hip Hop Academy of Kansas City. Sutton is versatile as a freelance artist, creating solo wall murals and collaborating with youth from the Kansas City Hip Hop Academy. The artist recently has focused on exhibiting his canvas and small drawings in gallery settings.

"I think of my work as a vehicle of social and spiritual expression, many of my paintings and drawings deal with internal and external struggles that we endure along with the flow of life."

At the age of fifteen, graffiti art and hip-hop culture became Suttons' way of life which he still leads to this day as a public art instructor, creative writer, clothing designer and musical Emcee: Brother of Moses. Sutton is a member of the Kansas City hip-hop musical duo the Deep Thinkers. Deep Thinkers' first recorded album was released both nationally and in Japan on Datura Records. The freshman release received praises by Vibe, Vanity Fair and Urb magazines. The group's 4th and latest album, "Make It Quake" was just recently released nationally on Wilshire District/VTECH Music.
