NAME Sam Hall

Apart from an occasional half-hearted foray into painting, Sam Hall had never painted seriously until 2002. Two years later, in 2004, he emerged onto the British art scene with a series of both representational and semi-abstract acrylic works based on places he had visited during a lifetime of travel.    

It was the beginning of a meteoric artistic career. Within a month of his first exhibition at the North Norfolk Art Centre in April, 2004, he was selected as a finalist in the British nationwide EAC Art Awards. His work was later hung at The Business Design Centre in London .   

In June 2004, he exhibited at Summers Art Loft in his hometown, Dorking, in Surrey . In 2006, he was again selected as a finalist in the British EAC Art Awards and hung in the Mall Galleries in London .  

Shortly afterwards, in September 2006, he held a near sell-out solo exhibition at Gallery 47, opposite the British  Museum in Bloomsbury , London. This was so successful that he was asked to hang his work in a new VIP Lounge at London  Heathrow  Airport . His next solo exhibition, in September 2007 at the prestigious Leatherhead Theatre in Surrey, UK, was another huge success. 
In 2008, his work was again a finalist in the national EAC Art Awards and exhibited at the renowned Bankside Gallery on London's South Bank.

In 2009, he exhibited at The Blue Door Gallery near London Bridge in London and at the renowned Contemporary Fine Arts gallery, The Lloyd Gill Gallery, in Weston-super-Mare, UK.
Hall's distinctive style of painting, intense palette and ability to evoke depth, space and spirituality bring a vibrant, magical touch and compelling imaginative element to his work, thus vividly expressing the deeper essence of his subjects.

His work now hangs in private collections in the UK , Sweden , Germany, Italy and the United States .
