Threshold - Large Scale Oil Painting of a Nude Seated on a Green Chaise Lounge
Located in Chicago, IL
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.

I Love You the First Time, Large Scale Portrait, Bearded Man in Dappled Light
Located in Chicago, IL
I Love You the First Time
One of Hall’s most emotionally direct works, this painting confronts intimacy head-on. The title introduces vulnerability even before the viewer engages the image. The figure’s gaze is unguarded, almost confrontational, yet softened by the nuanced handling of light across the face. It is a painting about exposure—emotional as much as physical—and the risk inherent in connection.

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.

Gossamer- 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.

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.

Elsewhere - Large Scale Portrait of a Woman, Original Oil Painting
Located in Chicago, IL
Elsewhere
Elsewhere suggests psychological distance rather than physical removal. The figure’s posture conveys withdrawal, introspection, and quiet resistance. Hall’s restraint is notable here—nothing is exaggerated, yet the emotional weight is unmistakable. The darkness presses close, amplifying the sense of inward retreat.
