About the Item
Threshold
A solitary male figure sits at the edge of illumination, his body poised between tension and stillness. The composition suggests a psychological crossing—an interior threshold rather than a physical one. The dramatic light sculpts the torso with almost classical clarity, while the surrounding darkness destabilizes any sense of place. This work exemplifies Hall’s interest in moments of becoming, where identity feels provisional and unresolved.
Nathan Brad Hall's work comes together in this show to build an undeniably jaw dropping experience for viewers. “Undercurrents,” says Hall, “is about trying to find a way to capture the underlying layers of emotion and have that emotion resonate outwards. It’s the hum of electricity just below the surface, pulsing and cracking, that influences the way we move about in the world.” Based in New York and known for his large-scale figure paintings, Hall’s work offers glimpses into the intensity and vulnerability of being human. He says, "working at a sizable scale allows the viewer to become enveloped in the figure's deep humanity."
Hall's monumentally scaled work is defined by his use of dramatic lighting. In each work, he illuminates specific areas of the figure and their surroundings as the rest fades away into deep shadows. While Hall's work displays his knowledge and technique with painting realism, bits and pieces of texture pop out throughout the body of work. Highlights of selectively placed thickly painted marks bring his work to a whole new level of depth. The selective marks reward viewers as they view the work up close, until they fade into the image from afar. Hall states, "Using both expressive and refined brush strokes of various thickness, my work uses the physical nature of oil paint to explore the balance of energy and stillness that can make the human figure come alive."
Nathan Brad Hall lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. With a background in both abstract and figurative studies, his focus today is on figurative oil painting, attempting to capture the light that illuminates us all. He has shown his work extensively in group and solo exhibitions in NYC and beyond and can be found in private collections across the U.S. and internationally.

View AllGossamer- Chiaroscuro Lit Painting of a Nude Figure with Golden Hair
Located in Chicago, IL
Gossamer
In Gossamer, the body appears almost weightless, held delicately within a field of shadow. The painting emphasizes fragility—of skin, of memory, of presence itself. Hall’s brushwork alternates between precision and dissolution, reinforcing the sense that the figure is both fully there and already receding.

Day Break - Nude Figure From Above, Original Oil Painting
Located in Chicago, IL
Day Break
Here, light enters as a quiet revelation rather than a dramatic intrusion. The figure is caught in a private moment, his gaze inward, as if emerging from sleep or introspection. The painting recalls Caravaggio’s restraint in late works, where illumination becomes softer, more contemplative. Flesh tones are handled with remarkable subtlety, allowing emotion to surface through posture rather than expression.

The Space Between - Large Chiaroscuro Oil Painting, Face Emerging from Darkness
Located in Chicago, IL
The Space Between
This work foregrounds negative space as an emotional register. The figure’s isolation is intensified by the surrounding darkness, which functions as both void and refuge. Hall’s mastery of chiaroscuro is evident in the way light traces bone and muscle while leaving the face partially obscured, denying easy access to the subject’s inner life.
