Larisse Hall – Contemporary Artist

Larisse (originally from Manurewa, South Auckland) settled in sunny and creative Nelson, in 2001. Having had a successful career in the fashion industry (in design and pattern drafting), Larisse started painting professionally in 2007. In 2008, Larisse became a full time artist. As Larisse enjoys life with her husband and two young children, her work has become a contemplation of interaction and connection (often using symbolism, including land form and other abstractions to represent such).

Incorporating relief in multiple layers of media, Larisse will often be working on 3 pieces, all at varying stages, at the one time. This allows each piece to develop a ‘personality’, as it dries, enabling Larisse to alternate between professional mediums and finishing with sumptuous oils. “Completion is that point when ‘I know I have to stop’ and the work evolves into itself”.

In contrast to her textural work, Larisse’s sketches have become a reactionary flick of the wrist - comprising sensuously descriptive ‘line’. It is her sensuous use of line and multi-layered application of media, that are known as Larisse’s signature style.

Larisse’s work is enjoyed in private collections nationally and internationally..
