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.

Upcoming Exhibitions
Angela Lane
Synthesis
March 6 - April 6 |2025
Opening Reception, Thursday, March 6th from 5 to 8 pm.
Artist in Attendance.
Calgary artist, Angela Lane creates fantastic shaped paintings which fuse organic and geometric shapes, sculpture, illusion, physical form and layered imagery. This original choreography negotiates the concrete nature of constructed forms alongside the collaged illusions they encompass. By combining elements from quilting and textiles arts with sculpture and painting she is blurring the long defined barriers between craft and fine art.
