“British sculptor Mark Hall continuously captures the transcendent beauty of nature and mechanics of design, combining form perfectly with his marvellously playful mind. Mark Hall encourages us to engage with our lost selves and reignite that feeling of child-like wonder, finding endless possibilities in matter so familiar, such as the humble horse chestnut. His array of peeling nut bronze sculptures, which reveal the smooth conker inside, are reminiscent of the youthful excitement as one unravels the secrets of the world and its wonders.

Originally captivated by the majesty of sculpture after discovering the work of Rodin as a young boy, Mark Hall’s passion and awe for the medium has only intensified. He encourages interaction with his work, often making pieces with removable parts that fit in the palm of a hand, understanding and amplifying the tactile nature of his craft.

Combining immense skill, creativity and humour with the everyday Mark Hall side steps the obvious and well-trodden path of sculptors before him, carving out a new road which allows viewers to indulge in the joyful, lighter side of life.

Across the 30+ years that Mark Hall has been working in sculpture, he has not only attained the hearts and whimsy of notable British contemporary art lovers, but many international ones too. Sculptures ranging from the miniature to the monumental have travelled across seas and lands afar making him a truly global name.”
