Hampton Hall was born in Iowa, but spent most
of his life in the Southern California area where
he now resides. As a young child, Hampton
knew he was going to become an artist. He has
spent 35 years developing his natural talent,
working out of the same studio from the start of
his career.
The artist's work has evolved from a highly
contemporary style to a more traditional
approach with a contemporary touch. He uses
"ghost images" in subtle renderings to "veil" his
thought process from the viewer. Being an
intuitive painter, Mr. Hall loves to explore as he
paints and encourages the viewer to do so as
well. Beginning with rough thumbnail sketches,
Mr. Hall enjoys watching his paintings evolve
as he makes each aesthetic decision.
A world-renowned artist, Mr. Hall has been
commissioned to paint some unusual projects
including the grand staircase of the residential
home of the Sultan of Brunei in London. He has
also painted in the personal residences of many
Saudi Arabian princes and other royals.
Mr. Hall is also well represented in private and
corporate collections. Some of these include
The Beverly Hills Hotel, Hotel Biltmore Santa
Barbara, The Ritz Charlton Chicago, The Four
Seasons Wailea, Hawaii, E.F. Hutton
Corporation, Prudential Insurance Company,
and the Sultan of Brunei residential homes in
California and London.
Mr. Hall's work has been exhibited in major
galleries and museums throughout the United
States including Annex Gallery (San Diego, CA),
Art and Architecture Tour (selected by L. A.
County Museum of Art), Downey Museum
(Downey, CA), Stedelijk Museum (Haarlem,
Holland), Daytona Beach Museum of Arts
(Dayton, FL) and Newport harbor Art Museum
(Newport, CA).
