Ro2 is pleased to present Imperfect Perfections, a solo exhibition featuring new works by Eben Lee Hall. The show will run from March 21 through April 4. There will be an opening reception held on Saturday, March 21 from 7-10:00 PM at Ro2’s Downtown gallery located at 110 N. Akard St. Dallas, TX 75201.
Artist Eben Lee Hall, a graduate of UNT’s MFA program, investigates the concept of transience and imperfection through texture, form, and color. His unconventional process replicates the beauty found during the advancement of decomposition and metamorphosis.
Artist Statement
I am endlessly seeking to explore possibilities with materials, texture, form, and color. The basis for this body of work began with inspiration from the Japanese aesthetic of wabi-sabi, the idea that everything is impermanent and thus ever-changing. I wanted to create objects that appear to be in the process of transformation and decay, and the inherent beauty to be found within the process.
About the Artist
My art is about a love for material, form, and process. I do not limit myself to one particular medium, but instead choose to experiment with a variety of materials including wood, steel, clay, paint, plaster, and Corian. I feel a partnership with the materials, and am energized as I see my work take shape through the processes of painting, welding, cutting, corroding, sanding, firing, and the use of CNC routers and laser cutters. Learning the nature of a material, how it behaves and reacts through manipulation and alteration, fascinates and leads me to new possibilities. I ask questions of the materials and seek to discover the answers. Can plaster be used to create a table? How will metal paint corrode if rock salt is introduced? What can be done with Corian in a laser cutter? My body of work includes furniture: chairs, tables, and lamps; sculptural forms: cast bronze and machine-altered Corian; and paintings: abstract and non-objective. I am avidly curious and allow new discoveries to lead to new projects, never imposing boundaries on myself.
