Booth B01
We are pleased to announce a solo presentation of new paintings by Chase Hall for Frieze Los Angeles 2023. The fair will take place February 16 – 19, with a VIP preview on February 16. Visit us at Booth B01.
Hall has become recognized for both his nuanced social and art historical vision and the provocative experimentation he brings to the formal elements of painting. By transforming personal narratives and reflections into embodied images using materials with their own socially encoded meanings, Hall operates in an expanded field where signification grows organically from pigment, support, canvas, and brushwork.
For Frieze Los Angeles, Hall has developed a body of works that emerge from his experiences as a teenager who moved from the Midwest to Los Angeles. The son of a Black father and raised by a single, white mother, the artist was the object of microaggressions and aggressions, as well as outright insult, incredulity, and hate crimes as he took to the sun-drenched beaches and wild ocean atmospheres of Southern California. His love of surfing, skating, and water sports, however, immersed him in these physical and social landscapes and gave him an intuitive feeling for the intermediate—and indeterminate—spaces that exist throughout them. Such immersion defines the paintings on view, which have been executed in mixtures of acrylic paint and brewed coffee on cotton canvas that have defined Hall's recent production, experimentation, and interrogation.
In each of the paintings presented, Hall renders a story or impression using materials and methods that connect autobiography and observation to global legacies of power, displacement, and loss, as well as to organic encounters with nature and the transpersonal effects of existing with members of different communities. This presentation exemplifies how such connections are alive in the physical and imaginal landscapes of Los Angeles and global coastal regions, and how painting, especially in Hall's deft hands, has the uncanny ability to communicate what it means to be both insider and outsider, critic and celebrant, and caretaker of the past and herald of the future.
