Ronald Hall (b.1967) seamlessly blends fiction and nonfiction in his narrative paintings, crafting otherworldly spaces where figures contemplate and navigate the complexities of the past, present, and future. Hall transforms domestic interiors, plantation architecture, and symbolic landscapes into dreamlike spaces where the past, present, and future collide. His narrative paintings often center the Black figure as both subject and witness, navigating complex legacies of race, identity, and social construction. Rooted in the visual language of early 20th-century Surrealism, Hall’s practice carries forward that tradition while infusing it with media references that range from Civil Rights photography to video game aesthetics—drawing on his extensive professional background as a gaming graphics artist.
