About the Item
“A gas mask, set against ochre-tainted clouds, is encased within a meticulously painted, ornate gilt wood frame. This faux frame elevates the subject, presenting it with the reverence of a museum piece, while ominous black clouds loom in the background, threatening to engulf everything. The composition evokes a sense of urgency and foreboding, highlighting the environmental and existential crises we face.” - Stephen Hall
Stephen Hall's thought-provoking imagery draws attention to the profound impact of consumer culture on the environment, emphasizing the urgency of addressing climate change. Through powerful visual narratives, Hall's art serves as a catalyst for important conversations and aims to raise awareness about critical global issues.
The artist's unique approach involves the use of traditional artistic methods, steering clear of computer-generated or projected elements. This choice underscores a raw and authentic approach to conveying the message, allowing viewers to connect with the art on a deeper level.
"It's crucial to use art as a powerful tool for addressing societal challenges. Hall's work provides a lens through which we can reflect on our collective responsibility towards the planet.

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.
