Miles Hall is known for his abstract paintings. Now living and working in Montpellier, France, after completing studies at QCA Griffith University, Hall continues his fascination with surface and texture. As he explains below:
“I had an old sculpture lecturer at art school who used to refer to the life-model as being a ‘solid liquid state’. I thought this was a most poetic way to look at the human body and for weeks I couldn’t stop looking at my fellow students as a kind of walking jelly.
Being interested in the ‘stuff of painting’ this term is perfectly apt to also describe the consistency of paint when squeezed out of a tube. Subsequently the title is a homage to the ‘issness’ and ‘stuffness’ of paint – it’s shared similarity to the physical constitution of our very own bodies.”
