Aron Hill
Aron Hill currently lives and works in Calgary, Alberta. He graduated from Alberta College of Art and Design in 2000 with a BFA in Interdisciplinary studies. He then completed his MFA at Goldsmiths College, University of London. His work there evolved into installation based projects using traditional drawing and painting methods alongside formal sculptural elements, large format photography and text based work. He has recently been focused on formalist paintings that recall aspects of minimalism and color field paintings though with references to the figure throughout. He finds conceptual company in the late Modernist paintings produced particularly in Canada. The choice of a restricted medium, acrylic ink washes on prepared raw canvas, forces restraint. The work's graphic nature relies on the sheer flatness this medium produces. Aron has exhibited internationally, occasionally lectures, and writes.

Kristine Zingeler was born and raised in Calgary Alberta, and received her BFA in Studio Concentration, with distinction from the University of Calgary. She has shown steadily since graduation in 2010. Awards include the Jason Lang Scholarship for academic achievement (2008, 2009, 2010, 2011), the Jack Wise Award for Excellence in Painting (2010), she was a BMO 1st! ART Nominee ( 2011) and a finalist for the Kingston Prize Finalist in 2013. Two of her paintings were included in Manifest Press’ International Painting III, a catalogue of recent contemporary paintings from around the world in 2014. Kristine’s work is in numerous private collections across Canada.
Kristine Zingeler has recently been researching and documenting the collection at the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller and the land at the Kiyooka Ohe Arts Centre in Springbank, west of Calgary as a way of exploring not only time but place. Ceramic sculptures act as monuments to the textures, colours and gestures of her research; a sort of reef that references specific place and vast history. The photographic collages become windows to this immense past and also the artist’s own tiny history within it.
