About Round Yellow with 2 Lines

Aron Hill is attracted to colour and shape. The Calgary artist explores these concepts with every brush stroke. In this bold work, Hill has rendered a polygon in bright yellow encircled in white and rimmed in gold leaf that pops against a black canvas. The gold creates glowing highlights around the lively tondo (circle) that sits about two inches away from the wall. Hill's work recalls the minimalist and shaped color field paintings of the American master Ellsworth Kelly. One in a series.

“The idea of pureness in terms of colour and shape and that hard edge has always appealed to me.” Aron Hill
