Under the Mountain

About Under the Mountain

This contemporary minimalist painting of a landscape is by a Canadian artist.

Aron Hill’s distinctive approach to landscape painting is to create a bold statement with clean, simple forms and a fresh, modern color palette.
This piece in acrylic and ink features a series of dynamic shapes including a dark blue sphere in the center frame and a dark brown curved shape under a tomato red ‘sky’. Two additional organic shapes in black and white anchor the base of the painting. Hill counts the famed modernist Jack Bush among their earliest influences.

“These paintings use the recurring theme of rocks as both land markers and altars set against a seemingly empty space or landscape.” 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.
