Born in Tamaki Makaurau (Auckland) in 1970, of Tainui and English descent, Larisse Hall has been based in Nelson since 2001. Studying at AUT, she received a Distinction in Apparel Technology & Design (1992). A full-time arts practitioner since 2008, part-time tutor at Te Pukenga NZ Institute of Skills & Technology (NMIT) since 2015, she has exhibited both nationally and internationally since 2013. In 2022, Hall won the Arte Laguna (Italy) Special Prize - an artist residency and exhibition at Espronceda Centre for Art and Culture, Barcelona, Spain. She was a finalist in See.Me, Art Takes SOHO (2018), See.Me, Art Takes Miami (2013/14/18), and See.Me, Scope Art, Miami (2015).
Hall’s public commissions include Sculpture in the Gardens, Auckland Botanic Gardens (2020/2021), MOTAT Night Lights (2017) and Light Nelson (2014/16/18).
Acknowledging light as our oldest time tool, Hall first explored the use of light and time within her work in 2015. She refers to these works as 'light-infused paintings'. Highlighting time as a precious commodity, Hall uses an act of spontaneity to represent our actions in the now. Archived in paint, this spontaneous mark is extended into our future, to become past. Our actions today impact beyond our now.
Hall combines traditional techniques of painting in oil on hand-stretched forms, with the science and colour of infused physical light. Her works exist as paintings by day, transforming into something ethereal as daylight fades, the colour and energy of emanating light from within intensifies.
In Time, is a progression in Hall’s work. Her new light-infused paintings are brighter, lighter, and looser in style. Also offering opportunities for viewer engagement are Hall’s 2021 deconstructed paintings in acrylic and her 1.7M tall light sculpture Flirt (long listed in the Aesthetica Art Prize, England 2015).
Please note that Larisse will be in the gallery from 2-4pm on Friday, Saturday and Sunday 3-5 May and will be giving an artist talk 2-3pm on Sunday. For this exhibition only, Fe29 will be open until 7pm on Thursdays to give visitors the opportunity to view these light-infused paintings in darkness.
