TIME IS A SURPRISE (SHOWN OVER VARIOUS TIMES OF THE DAY)
This piece is intended to visually breathe throughout the day. Transforming over time, the spontaneous mark, captured and archived in paint speaks to our everyday actions and potentially the future consequence of these.

Meet Larisse
Larisse Hall merges the ethereal qualities of light with the tangible aspects of paint and form in her work. Utilising light — a fundamental tool for measuring time — she explores both medium and temporal elements within her art.
Her approach, which she describes as ‘light infused painting,’ reinterprets traditional painting methodologies through the integration of actual light. Layers of translucent oil paint are applied to uniquely shaped canvases, each one personally stretched by Hall herself. By day, these works offer a subtle vitality; by night, they transform, illuminating to reveal a transcendent, intangible quality. Extending beyond their physical forms, the illuminated artworks engage and encompass the viewer, embodying the dynamic passage of time.
The concept of time — precious yet finite — holds particular resonance in her work, a reflection influenced by the presence of teenagers in her household.
Professionally active in the arts since 2008, Hall was recently recognised as a Special Prize Winner at the Arte Laguna Prize in Venice, Italy, for the 2021/22 cycle. This prestigious award included an artist residency and concluding exhibition at Espronceda, Barcelona, Spain.
