About white moon 2

This minimalist acrylic painting that features a moon is by Aron Hill.

The bold graphic design of Aron Hill’s work echoes the clean lines of modernist influences such as Jack Bush. Hill uses acrylic paints and ink washes to create their interpretation of a contemporary landscape. Known for their use of vivid colours, this piece is painted in deep blue, yellow, hot pink, orange and black on a raw white canvas.
The bright white full moon, a familiar image for the Calgary artist, is a centuries-old symbol of mystery and magic. As the moon’s shape changes nightly, it is also often used to represent the idea of renewal. One of a series.

“I’ve always approached my work from the standpoint of figurative work, oddly enough and I’m always drawn to figurative work.” Aron Hill
