BRENT HALLARD

Brent Hallard's geometric square paintings, especially his "Colour Orbs" series, are frequently compared to Josef Albers' iconic "Homage to the Square" due to their shared focus on nested squares and color interaction, but Hallard explores distance, atmospheric effects, and temporal shifts in color perception, while Albers focused on color relationships and light, making Hallard's approach a contemporary reinterpretation of Albers' legacy, testing color elasticity beyond simple juxtaposition. Hallard uses Albers' palette as a structural prompt, creating luminous, spiritual fields where colors condition each other for a phenomenological experience, not just a color theory lesson.
