Revelation of Space and Time
Form in Light and Shade, an exhibition of Nigel Hall's new work, confirms him as one of our foremost sculptors, who has received too iittle official recognition in his country of origin and residence. Significantly he is highly regarded abroad-in Europé, America and the Far East-which suggests that his work has an international rather than cosily local appeal. It does, but that is no excuse for the lack of a proper museum, retrospective in Britain. Thankfully, there are rumours of a substantial public showing, which l hope will be confirmed in due course.
He is showing some recent sculptures, either in wood or metal, and eight drawings. Now a huge amount, but then his big corten steel pieces are big. In fäet, the only criticism l would venture is that there is perhaps too much on display. Hairs work can take a löt of space around it, and looks best laid out sparely. But this is a selling exhibition, not a museum installation. Instead we are offered a rich cross section of his current preoccupations:
sculpture that is both urban object and landscape based, however abstracted its forms, with suggestions of petal and leaf, semaphore telegraph, eye and magnifying lens. These sculptures, with their lacquered copper or gorgéous polished birch-ply surfaces, are resistant to superficial description. ('Seeing is forgetting the name of the thing one sees.') But looking around the walls you can ät once sense the development of ideas, the dialogue of aperture and plane, the deft and telling orchestration of weight, volume and tonal range. What help is it to say that two versions of 'Pearl', a form-within-a-form ovoid sculpture, respectively in aluminum and polished wood, are equally but differentiy appealing?
With regard to this particular group of work. Hall himself has written of his deep feelings for the Mani, that area of the southern Greek Peloponnesus the light and landscape forms of which have stimulated some of his most evocative new pieces. These are about sculpture on a grand, elemental scale-the meeting point of land and sea. Here in his wooden ellipses and poignant curves are to be found suggested the effects of wind and water, clear light and shades, all the complex details of cliffs and outcrops, caves and concativities, revealed by the sun or filled with deep shadows. As he writes: 'To swim and drift in these translucent waters and observe the slowly changing relationships of promontories, bays and islands set against the embracing are of the horizon is a revelation of space and time.'
