Newzones is pleased to present a new solo exhibition by Calgary based Aron Hill.

Aron Hill's new body of work strives to present timeless situations through both personal experience and by looking at early Modernist compositions. These paintings seek to acknowledge and exploit the context of the subject matter, all the while inviting the viewer to find their own meaning within.

While Hill is continually exploring different subject matter, his work is consistently commenting on the relationship we as humans have with nature. Hill's compositions often pair man – made objects with elements of nature, allowing the viewer to assess the relationship for themselves.

Hill's paintings urge viewers to not only take a critical standpoint with the subject matter, but to take a step back and recognize the playful manner in which they are composed. Hill likens his painting process to a strategy one might see in sports teams, in that specific steps are taken from conception to production for each painting. Hill looks for specific compositional elements as well as 'timeless qualities' which provide him with the tools to take an image from concept to canvas.

Hill graduated from Goldsmiths College in London, England in 2007, with a Master of Fine Arts in painting. In 2000, he graduated from Alberta College of Art and Design with a BFA in Painting and Sculpture.
