About the Item
Bold contemporary form and striking bright colours define the unique artistic style of Aron Hill. The Calgary-based artist often uses the sun and rocks as central images in their work that re-imagines the landscape. In this piece, the image of a blood-red sun against a crest of bright yellow draws the eye. Above and below the sun ink black provides contrast. Four white figurative shapes—the rocks anchor the base of the work. The materials—canvas, acrylic ink, collage and thread add visual complexity and texture.
“Inspired by the devastating forest fires sweeping through Northern Alberta and beyond, with many Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities evacuated, the sun often appeared blood red due to the smoke-filled atmosphere. The rocks serve as both landmarks on the land and remnants of sacrificial altars for burnt offerings to the gods.” Aron Hill
Aron Hill obtained a BFA in Interdisciplinary Studies from the Alberta College of Art and Design and an MFA from Goldsmiths College, University of London in 2006. They have exhibited across Canada and in Dubai. Hill’s work is held in private and corporate collections.
Aron Hill
Aron Hill's practice is focused on a formalist type of painting that recalls aspects of minimalism and Color-Field paintings though with references to the figure throughout. They find conceptual company in the late modernist paintings produced particularly in Canada. The choice of primary colors and a restricted medium is a conscious restraint informed by Hill’s artistic influences such as Jack Bush and William Perehudoff. The work's graphic nature relies on the sheer flatness that this medium produces.
Hill currently lives and works in Calgary, Alberta. They graduated from Alberta College of Art and Design in 2000 with a BFA in Interdisciplinary studies. Hill then completed their MFA at Goldsmiths College, University of London. Hill has exhibited internationally, and occasionally lectures and writes.
