Review in Modern Toronto {modto.com}
Here is a succinct review of my work in the Summer 2011 Group Show currently on view at Angell Gallery, Toronto until August 20.
"Daniel Hutchinson’s paintings are typified by the mantra of ‘all black everything’ as rare colour usage, when present, is minimal and bright, layered upon masked black painted imagery. Upon viewing Hutchinson’s work in a gallery setting one realizes how fundamentally important light is in absorbing the purpose of his brush strokes. As light bounces off the canvas, like grooves on fresh vinyl, you are forced to shift your physical position to reveal the subject of his work."

Summer Group Show, Angell Gallery
Summer Group Show: Philippe Blanchard, Esther Choi, Thrush Holmes, Daniel Hutchinson, Brendan George Ko, Caroline Larsen, and Andrew Myers
July 23rd to August 20th
Opening reception: Saturday July 23rd 1:00 to 4:00 PM
From Daniel Hutchinson’s panoramic black monochrome, reminiscent of minimal and geometric abstraction but in fact representative of Stratford Ontario’s Festival Theatre, to Caroline Larsen’s psychedelic blanket-like patterns in oil paint; to Andrew Myer’s witty, conceptually charged provocations; to Brendan George Ko’s inscrutable re-mixes of photographic portraits and still lives, the artists in this show, both in their own right and installed next to each other on the walls of Angell Gallery, all generate a unique and engaging conversation with the viewer. Many surprises are in store.

National Post Review by Leah Sandals
Daniel Hutchinson at G Gallery
234 Queen St. E., to May 14
Looking at Daniel Hutchinson’s paintings is like seeing landscape through a glass, darkly. Created using a computer sketching program and snippets of blackish paint layered on to drafting film, the local artist’s images of trees and amphitheatres break down into expanses of triangles, rectangles and lines that evoke the digital wireframe craze of the first-run Tron era. As a bonus, Hutchinson’s paint surfaces are striated, resembling vinyl record grooves and catching the light in much the same manner. The result: landscapes that morph visually as you walk through the space, much as views of an actual landscape might. Best in show is Fort City Bandshell, which amps a sci-fi feel by contrasting a perfect half-shell structure and some ersatz trees. Still, much of the appeal of these paintings lies not in their scenes but in their surfaces — they’re oily, gooey and changeable while also being very neat and tidy, a nice mix. An adjacent room holds a video by Stockholm artist Cecilia Nygren that also touches on landscape, but Hutchinson’s cohesive, visually appealing work is the main draw here.

2011 Brucebo Summer Residency Scholarship Award
Daniel Hutchinson is the winner of the 2011 Brucebo Summer Residency Scholarship Award.
Since 1972, the Brucebo Foundation of Gotland, Sweden has offered a fine art residency scholarship to talented, emerging Canadian artists aged 40 or younger, thus providing an inspiring study and work stay in northern Europe on the island of Gotland located in the Baltic Sea. The “ Brucebo” funds a three months’ working residency at the Brucebo studio cottage, Skälsö fishing village, 7 kilometers north of the Hanseatic and medieval city of Visby, a famous UNESCO World Heritage Site. The scholarship covers transportation expenses, the use of the studio cottage, a monthly food stipend plus an equipment grant. Upon leaving the island, the artist is invited to deposit two works of art with the Canadian Collection at the Gotland Fine Art Museum. Over the years, this museum has built up one of the finest assemblages of contemporary Canadian Fine Art outside Canada.
