An invitation to participate in quiet reflection is embodied in the
paintings of Keith Hiscock. 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.
