The gorgeous photography of James Hall has been printed by Nest as giclees and is available as signed, limited edition prints. The work is on exhibit through July at our Guerilla Gallery at 2625 Magnolia St, Oakland. Come by during our regular hours, 12pm-4pm every Thursday or give me a call, Obi Kaufmann, Art Director, 510-914-8364 for an appointment.
In 2000, James left the country for the first time and set out to explore Japan, Thailand, and Cambodia to try his hand at travel writing. Soon he realized that the photos he was taking were capturing a far-more nuanced and intriguing representation of his surroundings than his words were capable of. What he liked about the photos was their quietness, their space for imagination and association, and their willingness to leave questions unanswered. While his iconic imagery and super-saturated colors hint at a dreamworld, all the images spring from the physical world- capturing the essence of James's belief that we must look no further than reality to find impossible beauty. Our imaginations rise from our reality.
His work has been shown in numerous galleries and publications, including a feature story in Popular Photography.
