Nigel Hall at Worcester
'Mirrored' (2011) by Nigel Hall RA
Nigel Hall is an artist born in Bristol who lives and works in London.
Since his first solo show at Galerie Givaudan Paris in 1967, he has had over 100 solo and over 300 group exhibitions around the world. His work is represented in public collections, including Tate and the British Museum in London. Following graduation, Hall won a Harkness Fellowship and until 1969 lived and worked in Los Angeles, travelling in the USA, Canada and Mexico.
Hall made his first tubular aluminium sculpture in 1970.
This marked the start of an exploration of the ways in which these constructions can alter the viewer’s perception of space. Hall’s works are principally concerned with three dimensional space, mass and line, giving as much prominence to voids and shadows as to the solidity of material. Each work changes with light and viewpoint reflecting the landscapes that inspired them.

Standing at over three metres tall, ‘Mirrored’ is a bronze sculpture made by Hall in 2011.
In the same year, his work was showcased in a solo exhibition at the Royal Academy of Art in London, where he has been a Royal Academician since 2003. In 2017, Hall was awarded an Honorary Doctorate from University of the Arts London.
From 1971 to 1981, Hall was a lecturer and external examiner of the Royal College of Art, London, and ran the MA sculpture course at Chelsea College of Art and Design. Since 1991, his artistic base has been a 60 feet by 60 feet converted church hall in Balham, south London.
Alongside his interest in the qualities of spatial construction, Hall is also engaged in an equally strong pre-occupation with the particular sites his sculptures occupy. ‘Mirrored’ joins many other works by Hall which are viewable outside to the public around London, Cambridge and Yorkshire, as well as in the United States.
