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.

This work exemplifies Hall’s interest in moments of becoming, where identity feels provisional and unresolved. Nathan Brad Hall...

This figure of St. Sebastian has long been a favorite subjects for artists. In this modern interpretation we see St. Sebastian shackled in chains and leather restraints against an industrial graffiti covered wall. He gazes upwards while his body is pummeled with rubber suction cup darts. Historical references are ripe for interpretation in this painting. St. Sebastian is known as the patron saint for athletes, soldiers and warriors. He is said to have survived his initial wounds from arrows by way of divine intervention only to be beaten to death later after warning the emperor of his sins. St. Sebastian is known to be a protector from plague. Bruno Surdo Paradox of St. Sebastian oil on canvas 60h x 36w in 152.40h x 91.44w cm Bruno A. Surdo b.
