Featuring Chase Hall in conversation with Sayantan Mukhopadhyay, Assistant Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art
Bernard Osher Foundation Auditorium
Arden Wray for New York Times
Multidisciplinary artist Chase Hall explores race, identity, and history through narratives of power, earning him recognition as an essential voice in American contemporary art today.
His distinctive paintings, using unprimed cotton canvas and coffee stains, reflect his mixed-race experience in America, blending symbolism and storytelling. Hall has completed residencies at Skowhegan and MASS MoCA and had his first museum solo exhibition at the SCAD Museum of Art, Savannah GA, in 2023.
He will also feature in Painting Energy: Gifts from the Alex Katz Foundation at the Portland Museum of Art.
Registration required for lecture.
