This exhibition focuses on metaphysical ink and watercolour works on paper and nude charcoal drawings by one of Ireland’s most important painters. Comprising a selection of some 100 drawings, the exhibition includes a selection of recent drawings, some of which have not previously been exhibited, including new works from the artist’s studio. Hall’s work is fundamental in Ireland to the understanding of the so-called return to painting in the late 1970s and early ‘80s.
