Exploring colour as a physical and visual encounter underpins the recent paintings of Miles Hall. “What I’m looking for is an experience of colour and space that is inherently pictorial but at the same time is something that can be physically encountered as surface” says Hall.
Applied predominantly with his hands, Hall uses pure pigments mixed with bees wax and linseed oil. “These paintings are not the result of an intellectualised programme or criteria; instead the images develop of their own accord following both the visual and tactile possibilities of the medium”, he says.
