On the occasion of the publication of Nigel Hall, Sculpture & Drawings, we are delighted to present this online viewing room of works by Nigel Hall.
Nigel Hall is one of Britain’s most distinguished sculptors. His works, principally made of steel, aluminium or polished wood are concerned with three dimensional space, mass and line. His abstract drawings and geometric sculptures give as much prominence to voids and shadows as to the solidity of material and each work changes with light and viewpoint reflecting the landscapes or surroundings that inspire them. The internal empty spaces become forms, framed by the sculpture itself.
His first tubular aluminium sculpture was made in 1970 and in subsequent years he has explored the ways in which sculpture alters the viewers perception of space as they move around the work. This interest in the qualities of spatial construction is balanced by an equally strong preoccupation with the particular sites his sculptures occupy – his works, particularly large-scale pieces - are often conceived for a specific site. His recent work has been less minimal in feel, tending towards more visually robust and solid forms.
Hall works out of his studio in London. Works in this online viewing room are on display at our London gallery, viewable by appointment.
Nigel Hall: Sculpture & Drawings is an ambitious monograph which looks at his work in relation to sculptural developments in Britain, Europe and North America. It presents the two main strands of Hall's practice - sculpture and drawing - as distinct but also interrelated.
