About the Item

Drawing 1545 is a large abstract drawing in gouache and charcoal by the sculptor Nigel Hall RA, signed and dated 2010, nearly one and a half metres wide. Nigel Hall (born 1943) is one of Britain's foremost abstract sculptors, and drawing has always been central to his practice. His large works on paper are independent works, not studies, exploring the same questions of line, space and balance as his sculpture. In Drawing 1545, two broad ribbons, one yellow and one black, twist around each other in a long horizontal loop. They float above a ground of soft charcoal, rubbed and smudged so that the ribbons seem to cast shadows and turn in space. The flat, crisp gouache against the atmospheric charcoal is typical of Hall's drawings of this period. This Nigel Hall drawing is signed, titled and dated "10" in pencil lower right. The sheet measures 68 × 148 cm, and it is framed to 74.4 × 152 cm, ready to hang. Its long format suits a wall above a sofa, console or bed. As a work on paper, it is best hung away from direct sunlight. Hall studied at the West of England College of Art and the Royal College of Art and was elected a Royal Academician in 2003. His work is held by Tate and by museums across Europe, the United States and Japan. A drawing of this scale is a fine example of Nigel Hall's distinctive abstract language. Provenance: Dreweatts.
