About the Item
Aron Hill has always taken fresh and distinctive approaches to their contemporary artwork. This new series recalls the same strong, simple form—the sun and rocks appear as familiar images but it is the profile of a pack mule that fills the frame.
The colour palette is soft— orange, turquoise, pink, green and gray allow a bright yellow sun to stand out. An inspired use of materials—acrylic ink, collage and thread adds symbolic complexity enriching the visual and personal narrative of each piece.
“They (mules) are considered one of the oldest human-initiated animal hybrids, with a history dating back approximately 5000 years. Bred for endurance, temperament, and overall resilience, they are dependable animals for various forms of labor. The mule highlights the role of care that a pack animal plays. The mule is a unique creature because it does not care for its own offspring, emphasizing its value.” 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.

The Satyr is Turned into Salt Water - colorful, abstract, acrylic on canvas
Located in Bloomfield, ON
Inspired by a famous Italian sculpture, this expressive series of abstract paintings in vivid colours was created by Canadian visual artist Richard Tosczak in collaboration with an Italian artist. Gestural brushstrokes of bright yellow, green, sky blue, melon white and a touch of pink swirl about the canvas in this dynamic composition. Tosczak is perhaps best known for his beautiful figurative sculptures. His collaborator in this series, Italian artist Angela Letizia Renzi is a ‘lover of literature and linguistics.’
“In 1998, a fisherman from Mazara del Vallo brought a bronze sculpture with mutilated arms and legs to the surface: the Satyr, a figure halfway between the human and animal worlds.” Tosczak and Renzi
Richard Tosczak was born in Belgium. He studied philosophy and sculpture at the University of Alberta. At that time, Tosczak began working in steel and was influenced by a number of his professors who appreciated the work of a British abstract sculptor, Sir Anthony Caro considered one of the greatest sculptors of his generation. Further studies were pursued in France with another internationally acclaimed classic sculptor, Martine Vaugel...
