Tip Top

The Ibex, a symbol of wilderness and resilience, standing atop a mountain of garbage bags, symbolizes nature's ability to adapt and survive even in environments affected by human activity. The garbage bags, on the other hand, represent human waste and environmental degradation.
The clear blue sky with the moon in the background offers a hint of optimism amidst this juxtaposition. It suggests that despite the challenges and damage caused by humans, there is still beauty and hope in the natural world. The presence of the moon might symbolize time passing and the potential for renewal or change.

STEPHEN HALL BIO
Stephen Hall, born in Scotland, is an artist who takes a traditional approach to a modern subject. Now living in New York, his work is indicative of a surging talent that has been refined over many years. Each of his paintings is composed of numerous layers, executed without any modern trickery such as digital assistance or an airbrush. The resulting lush density of color and light variation owns the viewer’s attention.
Stephen has not only been exhibiting worldwide since the early 80s, but his work also resides in corporate and private collections worldwide and has been featured in movies, music videos, and magazines. On top of this, he has also illustrated book covers for A.A. Milne, J.G. Ballard, and Russell Greenan amongst others.
Over the past several years, with specific use of color and composition, he engages the viewer inclusively. He has been more explicit in his purpose, focusing on pollution, climate change, and the ongoing endangering of fauna and flora.
He will often juxtapose the subject with its environmental setting, while adding a man-made object, or corporate product, as a symbol of our culpability.
