Nigel Hall (b.1943) is one of the UK's most distinguished sculptors. His work demonstrates a preoccupation with implied space and volume, suggested through form, line and edge. Hall produces work that is masterful in its manipulation of material and this constitutes an important part of his investigation into space, form and perspective. Parallax - the apparent shift of an object against a background due to a change in observer position - has been a particular favourite device of his, especially in his earlier works.

His first tubular aluminium sculpture was made in 1970 - a critical moment for the artist for this galvanised his investigation of parallax. That being said, an interest in spatial construction is combined with an equally strong sensitivity to the particular sites his sculptures occupy. His recent work has been less minimal, consisting of more solid forms that simultaneously compliment and interrupt their immediate context.

Notably, Hall had a solo exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts, London in 2011 and later, in 2017, had a solo presentation of work in Heidelberg Sculpture Park, Germany. 2017 also saw Hall awarded an Honorary Doctorate from the University of the Arts, London. Hall's sculpture is included in numerous public collections including the Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago; Los Angeles County Museum, Los Angeles; Louisiana Museum, Denmark; Museum of Modern Art, New York; and the Tate, London.
