Keith Hiscock

An invitation to participate in quiet reflection is embodied in the paintings of Keith Hiscock. Born in Victoria, British Columbia, Keith found his niche in art early in life and worked for some time as an abstract artist, then as a film animation cell painter. Although this Victoria, BC painter's earliest works were abstract pieces, he has embarked in recent years on a creative journey towards increasingly disciplined technical skills.

 

Entirely self taught, Hiscock is currently best known for the powerful style uniquely described as magic realism. His minimalistic treatment of man's interaction with nature is typified in his work. His paintings do not merely tell a story but encourage personal participation by all who are drawn into its mesmerizing image. Hiscock's painstaking attention to detail and accomplished talent inevitably produce a remarkable sense of tranquility and contemplation.

 

To own a work by Keith is to enjoy the timeless interplay of light and shadow, enhanced by the unspoken serenity of form and simplicity. With magnificent precision, his paintings capture not only the moment, but an endless potential for discovery and interpretation. His compelling acrylics draw you in, after they’ve drawn you across the room. When he discovered representational realism, Keith developed his own uniquetyle, a dramatic combination of exquisite attention to detail and powerful scope. He is self-taught and works in acrylic on canvas and panel, applying many layers of transparent and opaque paint. The result is art, with an inner glow.
