Reverse images on recycled windows.

Eddie Hall is a self-taught abstract artist based in Berlin, Connecticut, known for creating vibrant, geometric works using recycled windows as his canvas. Drawing inspiration from architecture and design, his art transforms discarded materials into bold visual narratives. Hall is a member of the Kehler Liddell Gallery and the Silvermine Guild of Artists, and his work has been featured in solo and group exhibitions at institutions including the New Britain Museum of American Art, Mattatuck Museum, Hill-Stead Museum, Mystic Museum of Art, Edward Hopper House Museum, Slater Memorial Museum, Scope Miami, and many others. He has received numerous awards, including the Artist Respond grant from the Connecticut Office of the Arts, and his work is held in the permanent collection of the New Britain Museum of American Art and currently on display at the Connecticut State Capitol Building. Hall is currently pursuing the impossible goal of exhibiting at every library with a gallery in Connecticut.

Artist Biography

Half the time, I am a full time father of two amazing children. The only time I have been challenged to a fight, I was dressed as the Skipper from Gilligan’s Island. I am an attorney with two decades of experience in regulatory compliance. My grandmother lives under an assumed name and for a short time she painted claiming it was all at the direction of a Spanish ghost. I was born in Ohio and have lived in Florida, Los Angeles and Connecticut. At age ten I was regularly filling out people’s tax paperwork and at age thirteen I would do computer consulting posing as a college student. I did not start painting until I was almost forty. The one time I have been married, it was to someone I was not dating at the time. I have a cat named Daisy. I am not a baseball fan, but have appeared in the nationally televised broadcast of the final game of a World Series. I graduated college when I was nineteen. I went to high school in a Florida town which was founded by and still very much occupied by circus sideshow performers. I am admitted to the bar in two states, am certified to conduct insurance company examinations, and have a degree in Criminology. I spent seven years working at a record label where I accidentally found four unreleased John Fahey songs and once wrote a fake autobiography that was distributed to thousands in an employee newsletter. I am self-taught as an artist, never picking up a brush until I was almost forty and I will be forever grateful that I found the medium of expression that had always been missing from my life. 

From the Artist

 If you start looking, you would be surprised how many windows you find discarded by the side of the road. I keep finding myself coming back again and again to the visuals I can achieve with acrylic paints on the reverse side of recycled windows. Using this medium, I find that I can more readily present the bold colors and geometric patterns I feature in my work and find enjoyment in the challenge of working the unique character of each window into the piece itself. These works have allowed me to take something discarded and transform them into an item of beauty.
