This summer Nigel Hall was on a bus heading towards Nice airport when he became transfixed by the view through the windscreen: not the glittering Mediterranean or its attendant frieze of tall palms, but a row of manhole covers running down the centre of the road. These elliptical forms appeared to inflate – “like balloons” – as they got closer, becoming larger and rounder, before they were swallowed up beneath the front of the bus. For Hall this “logarithmic” progression of advancing and receding ellipses was at once entrancing, and simply another manifestation of a preoccupation with circles and ellipses that has become increasingly dominant in his work – an interest in which the apparently mundane touches on aspects of the universal. We are continually moving in the great orbit of the earth travelling around the sun, which is, as Hall points out, elliptical, rather than circular. This immense “stretch”, as Hall thinks of it, is echoed in the tightening curve of a rod with fish on the line, and in the gravitational pull of the hanging chain, which when inverted becomes in his mind the soaring catenary arc of Eero Saarinen’s Gateway Arch in St Louis, the tallest man-made monument in the Western Hemisphere, clad in stainless steel, which Hall travelled up in a little motorised car in 1967, as a student in America on a Harkness Fellowship. This formal delight informs the work in this exhibition in forms and structures that are determined equally by intuition and applied mathematics: from the large drawings with their painted ellipses and dense charcoaled circles to the central installation, from which the exhibition takes its name, in which the “morphing” of a series of elliptical and circular shapes cut through 160 sheets of plywood, is recorded in four monumental rectangular blocks, each composed of forty of these sheets. The four blocks face each other, each a metre and a half high, looking rather like enormous audio speakers. The empty spaces inside are made concrete in the cut-away sections, stacked in the centre of the group like a kind of dizzingly asymmetrical totem pole. This work takes Hall’s longstanding fascination with the polarities of internal and external form to a new level. While a computer charted the most direct route by which, for example, a pair of circles are transformed into an ellipse, the resulting multi-volumed tunnels are bewilderingly complex. Hall delights in the fact that these “simple Euclidean forms” have engendered structures that are “crazy, organic, totally unexpected.” Born in Bristol in 1943 and trained at the Royal West of England Academy and the Royal College of Art, Hall embodies a particular intergenerational moment in British sculpture. His early suspended and ceiling-bound sculptures position him as a linking figure between the slightly older post-constructivist New Generation group of sculptors who came in the wake of Anthony Caro, and the more conceptual approach of the so-called New British Sculpture of the 1980s. Yet Hall has always avoided becoming part of any school or tendency. He works in relative isolation in a converted church hall in south London, making all his work himself without assistants, as far as is practically possible. Hall’s career can be seen as a working through of the ramifications of a formative experience. At the age of 7 or 8, watching his maternal grandfather, a Bristol stone mason, cutting into a piece of Bath stone, he observed that the process created three elements: a line, an edge and a shadow. This

“magical” realisation set him off on a lifetime’s exploration of spatial and material ambiguity. Hall doesn’t now carve lines or edges, but fabricates them in exquisitely crafted joins of curved and polished plywood, or casts them in steel, in structures in which matters of alignment, of relative concavity and convexity, of what is behind or in front of what, of which shape is impinging on which, become of pressing importance. Spending time in this self-contained sculptural world, where objects have the honed precision of industrial components, and where there appears to be a conscious rejection of the organic in both forms and materials, it is disconcerting to discover that Hall’s principle influence is landscape. Hall has filled hundreds of sketchbooks with landscape drawings over the years, returning obsessively to particular places: the Mojave Desert near Los Angeles, where he spent two critical years (1967-9), where the brilliance of the light reduces everything to the essential; the immense valley of the Engadin in Switzerland, where the perpendicular campanile of the village of Soglio is the only “still” element in a landscape that appears to be in continual tumult of movement. Hall’s interest in landscape – which may, for him, be urban as much as rural – isn’t a matter of recreating what places look like, but of evoking phenomenological sensations of existing in physical space, in which sculptural form is stripped back to the barest essentials; with the memory of the place felt beneath the skin rather than in the mind’s eye. In the Soglio series, for example, the single vertical of the campanile is reduced to a steel bar, set across the mouth of a truncated cone, restricting its propensity to roll. This concern with the human relation to form and scale, to the distances that surround and define us, to our gravitational sense of the vertical and the horizontal, links Hall, without conscious intention, to the Renaissance humanist idea of the human body as an ideal unit of measurement; a notion reborn in le Corbusier’s concept of the Modulor, ideas which Hall’s asymmetrical 21st century sensibility instinctively subverts and reaches towards. This exhibition’s title refers back to a work implicitly embodying these notions, The Here and the Now, made for the interior of Salisbury cathedral in 2000: a telescoping series of aluminium tubes, fifty feet in length, suspended from the cathedral roof at the crossing of the nave and transept, directly beneath the majestic gothic spire. Where the spire reaches towards heaven, Hall’s counterpointing 21st century sculpture directs the mind to the gravitational pull of the centre of the earth, making the viewer “absolutely aware” of their position in time and space. The title of the current exhibition, however, adds another dimension, that of memory. The work here is suffused for Hall with the presence of his late wife, the Iranian artist Manijeh Yadegar, who died in 2016. Two works in particular celebrate their forty-year relationship and express his sense of loss, pieces created in a moment when the studio was for him a place of life-saving solace: Spirit and One Plus One Equals One (for M.Y.). The latter piece embodies their relationship in what he calls a “simple equation”: an upright, elliptical yin-and-yang – a universally understood symbol of perfect balance – its concave form rendered in Hall’s favourite material, polished birch plywood. “But really,” he says, on reflection, “it’s just a sculpture. Nobody needs to know any of that.” Mark Hudson, September 2016
