Aaron Gosser

Associate Professor of Studio Art | Cedarville University

Aaron Gosser is Associate Professor of Studio Art at Cedarville University, where he has taught painting and art history since 2005. He holds an MFA in Visual Arts from the Art Institute of Boston at Lesley University. His current body of work, 100 Portraits of Karl Barth, is a four-year series of oil sketches on recycled canvas panels exploring the dialectical tension at the heart of Barth’s theology—and his life. Rooted in the logic of the underpainting, the project functions as a cumulative installation rather than a collection of individual works, each surface layered with collaboration, revision, and the accumulated weight of a single inexhaustible subject. The series opens in its first solo exhibition, Simul., at Princeton Theological Seminary in September 2026.
