Aron Hill
Split Green Shape with Long Yellow Line - colorful, abstract shapes on canvas

2018

About the Item

Bold, graphic shapes and lines dance on a neutral ground in this acrylic on raw linen by Aron Hill. Evocative of early modern abstractions such as those of Kandinsky, the work explores a pictorial language that is both playful and lyrical. This work may be paired with Red Split Leaf with White Shape (2018) to create a dynamic diptych. 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 a primary colors and 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 this medium produces. Aron 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. Aron Hill has exhibited internationally, occasionally lectures, and writes.
