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...

[Hippolyte-Alexandre Michallon (1849-1930)] Oil on canvas Signed in red, l.l. 48 x 60 inches, canvas size 54 x 66 inches in gold leaf frame 61 x 74 x 6 inches, framed This artwork is offered by ClampArt, located in New York City. “By his own account, the most ambitious work of Michallon’s career was a thirty-foot canvas depicting Noah’s Ark, which he exhibited in the Salon of 1875, where it went unmentioned by the critics. Preparatory work for this elaborate composition took him frequently to the Jardin des Plantes, where he made painstaking drawings and oil sketches of the animals on view. These studies were enthusiastically remarked upon by visitors to his studio, some of whom counseled him to give up history painting altogether and pursue the less dignified but presumably more lucrative career of animal painter. Following this advice, and profiting from the tremendous vogue in 1880s Europe for all things African...

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. Nathan Brad Hall...

Two lovers, entangled in each others arms, enjoy a passionate kiss. This intimate moment is the subject of Bruno Surdo's painting entitled "Desire". The beautifully rendered skin tones and a light shinning just beyond our sight give a suppleness and sexiness to the painting. The artist has painted this artwork on paper and then affixed the paper to stretched canvas. This process creates a textural undulating surface echoed in the painting itself.
