About Jean Hall
Jean Hall was born in Dundee and is a graduate of Edinburgh College of Art. She was employed as an Art & Design Lecturer in a College environment for sixteen years. After leaving teaching she has been painting and exhibiting on a full-time basis both nationally and internationally. "My paintings are essentially decorative – intended to be visually attractive. Sources of inspiration include textiles particularly Indian and oriental in origin. When I was very young relatives who spent time in India provided me with much visual stimulation in the form of fabrics, ceramics, carpets, etc. In other words design and colour – which I still refer to on a consistent basis in my painting. Eastern philosophies inspire a sense of a calm, contemplative atmosphere – this influences my sense of composition, balance and mood. The words 'stillness, reflection and introspection' are key qualities in these paintings. My interest in Japan began in Edinburgh College of Art when I undertook a study of Japanese ceramics. This led to a wider interest in Japanese visual imagery. Particularly the compositional devices using flattened perspective, semi-abstract spaces, imaginary settings and fantasy gardens. In my living and working space I have a strong preference for peace and quiet. I value the opportunity to withdraw from modern day noise in order to experience and express some of the qualities I have just alluded to.“Other works from this artist
