About the author
James Hall (b. 1954) is an explorer of both the big and the small. His work imagines fantastic universes but always returns to the modest dramas of everyday life. My Little Pictures, his first solo exhibit in 12 years, brings together a bold mix of media (Ink, graphite, acrylics, collage, assemblage) into a highly personal body of work.
Hall says, “I started making little pictures as a means of release of emotions and creating a method of recovery.” From 2012 to 2021, Hall inked more than 500 2“x 4″ images, with subjects ranging from the surreal to the quotidian. Together, they build an honest portrayal of an inquisitive spirit managing life with mental illness.
35 years of What I Wanted to Remember is a brightly-colored album of Hall’s pop-folk-art collages.
