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.

Michael Davidson
Michael Davidson is a Toronto based painter with a BFA from the University of Guelph (1988). He exhibits his paintings internationally with most recent exhibitions in Los Angeles and Singapore. His work can be found in collections in Canada, the United States, Europe, Asia and Australia. Davidson’s paintings are included in the acclaimed Carte Blanche 2: Painting – a survey of new Canadian painting (2009) and The 60 Painters exhibition and catalogue in Toronto, Canada (2012). Davidson lives and works in Toronto.
Arts Writer Shannon Anderson wrote of Davidson’s work; “Elemental forces are at work here. Davidson speaks of a desire to convey a unification of opposites inthis body of work. He draws from Jung’s notions of individuation: a process of psychological transformation that includes the realization that all of the seeming polarizations of the world—us and them, good and evil, strong and weak—are in fact intertwined and interdependent. In these paintings, a delicate balance is sought between figure and ground, dark and light, and abstraction and representation.”
