On Saturday, May 11, 2024, Oeno Gallery will host an opening reception for a new exhibition showcasing the minimal, abstract works of Calgary-based painter, Aron Hill. We are thrilled to welcome Hill for an Artist Talk at 3pm to speak about their art practice and how their education, background, family and day-today-life are woven into a visual narrative.

Known for their use of bold colours and clean graphic form, Hill’s recent compositions have found fresh inspiration in exploring a narrative that echoes their personal story. Hill’s distinctive contemporary vision and style—their unique approach to minimalist painting has taken another inspired turn which is reflected in their solo exhibition at Oeno Gallery.

The exhibition title— A Mule with a Transparent Pack over on a Path & Other Works refers to Hill’s paintings that feature the symbolic image of a mule, a non-reproductive animal historically valued for its life of labour.
