The Other Gate

About The Other Gate

This lyrical abstract composition—a landscape re-imagined is by Aron Hill. The Calgary artist often creates work that features nature—a sun, leaf-like shapes, rocks. These organic forms are framed by an elegant, curved archway. The colour palette is fresh and modern—yellow, white, soft green, a line of red and black. The rock-like shapes at the base of the painting draw the viewer’s eye and ground the work.

“I collect a lot of rocks. They come up as shapes in my work. They’re figurative to me. They are also monuments as well.” Aron Hill

They obtained a BFA in Interdisciplinary Studies from the Alberta College of Art and Design and their 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.
