Full Description
Nigel Hall: Sculpture & Drawings is an ambitious monograph which looks at his work in relation to sculptural developments in Britain, Europe and North America. It presents the two main strands of Hall's practice - sculpture and drawing - as distinct but also interrelated.
Line and space are central to Hall's work, with the artist creating highly refined two- and three-dimensional works that deploy a range of geometrical forms. The works he makes are always meticulous and measured, whilst offering intuitive visual conundrums that encourage looking and thinking. Unpicking the complexities of Hall's work and its display both indoors and outdoors, Wood provides the definitive narrative of one of Britain's most accomplished sculptors working today.
