About the artist:
Born in Aberdeen, Scotland, Stephen Hall moved to New York in 1978 and began exhibiting his work in the East Village in the early 80’s. Since then his work has been featured in exhibits throughout the US, India, Japan, Korea and Mexico. His work is part of numerous corporate and private collections and has been featured in major motion pictures, music videos and magazines. Mr. Hall has illustrated numerous book covers for internationally published authors. “Red House Mystery” A.A. Milne, “High Rise” J.G. Ballard and “A Can of Worms” by Russell Greenan to name a few.
“There are no digital prints, photographs, collage, airbrush or projections involved in my work. The subjects and ambiguous light sources are hand painted rows and rows of acrylic colors or tones, going from dark to light in countless layers. All the patterns are drawn first around a cardboard template upon the background field color and then painted tonally to match the background. Each painting can take anywhere from three to six weeks to execute, depending on the size.
I am interested in showing the relationships we all have, whether in time or place. I also try to show the pattern in chaos and, perhaps the overload of information that we are bombarded with in our modern times.”

Stephen Hall
Stephen Hall, born in Aberdeen, Scotland, is an artist who takes a traditional approach to a modern subject. Now living in New York, his work is indicative of a surging talent, which has been refined over many years. Each of his paintings is a composition of numerous layers, executed without any modern trickery such as digital assistance or airbrush and the resulting lush density of color and variation of light owns the viewer’s attention. Through his work, Hall explores the relationships we have with not just each other, but times, places and surroundings - couple this with a desire to portray the underlying order in our increasingly chaotic lives and you end up with vivid, yet somewhat intoxicating imagery finished with a slick style and intense precision. Over the past several years, Hall has become more interested in the threat posed by a man on our environment and the wildlife living in it. Hall has not only been exhibiting worldwide since the early 80s, but his work also resides in corporate and private collections and has been featured in movies, music videos and magazines. On top of this, he has also illustrated book covers for A.A. Milne, J.G. Ballard and Russell Greenan amongst others. Hall is a self-taught painter exploring the life we live, finding the pattern in chaos and relishing the cacophony of color. Over the past few years, he has decided to be more specific in content and confront the seeming endemic stupidity and havoc wrought by mankind.
