Paul Hallahan uses a variety of methods of making work and is interested in themes that explore perception and interaction with environment both on micro- and macro-scale. Varying from very small sculptures to large-scale paintings to video, Paul Hallahan’s work opens up questions of how we see the basics, colour, form, and depth. The primal mind is of interest to him as well as the way in which we read and interact with art both now and in the past.
