Artist Statement

Eddie Hall is a self-taught abstract artist based in Berlin, Connecticut, known for creating vibrant, geometric works using recycled windows as his canvas. Drawing inspiration from architecture and design, his art transforms discarded materials into bold visual narratives. Hall is a member of the Kehler Liddell Gallery and the Silvermine Guild of Artists, and his work has been featured in solo and group exhibitions at institutions including the New Britain Museum of American Art, Mattatuck Museum, Hill-Stead Museum, Mystic Museum of Art, Edward Hopper House Museum, Slater Memorial Museum, Scope Miami, and many others. He has received numerous awards, including the Artist Respond grant from the Connecticut Office of the Arts, and his work is held in the permanent collection of the New Britain Museum of American Art, Central Connecticut State University, and currently on display at the Connecticut State Capitol Building and Bradley International Airport. Hall is currently pursuing the impossible goal of exhibiting at every library in Connecticut.

Reclaimed windows have become my primary medium, offering a unique canvas for the bold colors and geometric patterns that characterize my work. I am continually fascinated by the interplay between matte and glossy surfaces, exploring both the reverse and foreground of the glass to create layered, semi-representational compositions. The angles, lines, and shapes that define our built environment, whether it is a city skyline or a single architectural detail, serve as starting points for my abstract compositions. The palette I use is intentionally bold and saturated, creating a visual contrast that engages the viewer, encouraging them to linger on each detail and discover new layers.
