Barn. Late July Heat. Painting

In the past few years Caroline Hall has attracted media attention for shows at Liberty in London and CCA Galleries International in Jersey and has held a major retrospective spanning a decade of painting at one of the UK’s most prestigious public art galleries. Caroline Hall’s land and seascapes hover between figurative and abstract. They are informed by sketches she makes whilst walking, small snapshots of ideas that are transformed back in the studio. A pianist as well as a painter Caroline uses brush and palette knife to create carefully balanced compositions. But most of the music is in her use of colour. “ Colour is evasive, surprising and glorious. I can explore a colour palette for months in pursuit of a particular feeling because I want the viewer to experience what I experienced and I believe that is only possible by getting the colour right”.
