ANGELL GALLERY is pleased to present DANIEL HUTCHINSON: WHEN THE LIGHTHOUSE IS DARK BETWEEN FLASHES, new paintings by this acclaimed Canadian abstractionist. The exhibition is in the West Gallery and Project Room from August 22 to September 27, 2014. An opening reception will be held on August 22, 6 to 9PM.

Daniel Hutchinson is fast becoming one of Canada's most esteemed abstract painters. In this exhibition

Hutchison pushes his signature form - near-black monochromes in which meticulously painted abstract shapes glisten in response to light - in dazzling new directions.

Daniel Hutchinson received his BFA from the Emily Carr Institute in Vancouver and his MFA from NSCAD University in Halifax. He has exhibited across North America, Australia and Sweden. In 2013, Hutchinson's work appeared in solo exhibitions at YYZ Artists' Outlet and Angell Gallery in Toronto, in the national survey The Painting Project, at L'Universit du Qubec Montral, and in the Micah Lexier curated show, More Than Two, at The Power Plant in Toronto. Accolades include two times semi-finalist in the RBC Canadian Painting Competition and the prestigious Brucebo Foundation Artist Residency in Gotland, Sweden, among others. Upcoming projects include a two-person exhibition at Saint Mary's University Art Gallery, Halifax and Painting Hamilton at the Art Gallery of Hamilton in November 2014.

Concurrently in the East Gallery we are pleased to present RAFAEL OCHOA: OVERWROUGHT, a series of new digital paintings. The exhibition is on in the east gallery from August 22 to September 27, 2014. An opening reception will be held on August 22, 6 to 9 PM.

While Rafael Ochoa's digital paintings may broadly be categorized as Post-Internet art, they occupy a distinctive territory within this genre, distinguished as they are by the artist's singular technique and his creative remix of imagery drawn from pre-20th century art. Like many artists whose careers began in the last decade, Ochoa scours the Internet for inspiration, honing in elements of Old Master paintings that catch his fancy - a gesture here, a face there. Using these diverse sources as models, he builds from scratch new forms, using a complex and labour-intensive rendering process he has been developing over the past seven years.
