Arlon Hall: Nice to Meet You FRINGE 2021
February 19 – March 21, 2021
Exhibition launch Sunday FEBRUARY 21st at 3-5pm
‘Nice To Meet You’ is a new body of work by Adelaide based Artist Arlon Hall. In this exhibition Hall continues to explore new possibilities within his practice, investigating the relationship between painting, drawing, sculpture, light, movement, interaction and installation. Bold colour and abstract shapes create playful compositions which dance with each other in a playground of instinct. Line and shape has been transformed into a three dimensional space through sculpture and installation, which in turn has become reference points for new drawings and paintings to emerge. Throughout the period of the exhibition the audience will be invited to engage with interactive elements within the installation and become active players within Hall’s colourful world.
