About
Isak Hall
Atlas
Isak Hall’s exhibition, Atlas, includes twelve brand new unconventional landscapes with luminosity and depth. The greatness of the earth as well as the universe and its infinite space are often reflected in his work, which has been referred to as Nordic Transcendence. Through his practice, Hall dives into the scientific aspects which lie beneath the surface of the artworks, as well as the mystique of it all.
Thus Hall, whose interest in nature is reflected in his art, rather than creating landscape images in the traditional sense, instead investigates how everything is connected. What matters to Hall is that his works affect the viewer with something that is not just a subject. The viewers should be so drawn to the works that they don’t need to ask what they are seeing.
Hall’s artistic practice is synonymous with technical brilliance, creating works with techniques and materials used by the great masters of the Renaissance era, such as precious pigments, tempera, oil and varnish on panel, instead of the more commonly used canvas.
These twelve pieces, as is customary for this artist’s works, express a deep, sincere love of painting as a form of expression. One important connecting thread here is a striving, or longing, to capture one of the most ephemeral of phenomena in this world: light. The depiction of light and its ungraspable essence is a recurring theme in Isak Hall’s artistic production. What could be more fitting, or needed, in the prevailing winter darkness?
Following the success of his previous exhibition here in 2021 we are, once again, proud to present Isak Hall, and his latest series Atlas, this time on display in the main gallery space.
