Christopher Hall
With a 23-year background in tattooing and graphic design, “Professor” Christopher Hall has developed a purposeful style and a keen eye for colour composition that he expresses in his acrylic painting practice.
Drawing heavily on a deep culture of tattooing symbolism, Hall translates a mixture of these images into fresh contemporary works of bright, eye-catching palettes and design. Using digital software tools to complete most of the preliminary work allows him to responsively manipulate the composition and palettes before painting them onto canvas. His Loft series - exploring the juxtaposition of birds with Art Deco and Art Nouveau inspired backgrounds - exemplifies his technique. The play of realism over intrusive pop art in these works resolve into elegant and engaging images.
Christopher Hall holds a diploma in Graphic Design from Canadore College, ON. His works are held in private collections in Canada and the United States.
