Alex Hall

Working with oil paint on masonite panels, I explore the intersection of surrealism and figuration to create contemporary works that blur the line between reality and imagination. My paintings are deeply rooted in my own experiences—moments of reflection, struggle, and transformation that mirror the universal human condition.

Through thin glazes and meticulous brushwork, I aim to build visual tension—balancing the euphoric with the chaotic, the serene with the uncertain. Each piece becomes a psychological space where emotion, symbolism, and human vulnerability coexist.

My approach to figurative painting reflects both modern sensibilities and classical discipline. I’m drawn to depicting the invisible forces that shape our lives—identity, disconnection, and hope—through the language of the body and atmosphere.
