“Starting shortly after his first conversations with Ra, Aton began painting murals. Working mostly in people’s homes on the South Side, he made custom room paintings, following Ra’s thematic suggestions, which pushed him towards Egyptian and cosmic motifs, sometimes explosively colored abstractions, and, as time went on, distinctive outer-space imagery. “Space became very important to people,” Aton says, from his current home in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The possibilities of unusual pigments, new to the market in the early 1960s, opened up vibrant and jarring areas of investigation: “A whole room of fluorescent paint—you can imagine how that looks!”

From John Corbett’s essay in Sun Ra + Ayé Aton: Space, Interiors and Exteriors, 1972, out now from Picturebox and in stores.

Mural by Ayé Aton.
