Natasha Hall is an internationally exhibited artist who has completed residencies and exhibitions throughout Europe, has had her work auctioned by Sotheby ́ s, received excellent and extensive press coverage in European newspapers and was recently interviewed about her career on television. The concept of bringing nature into a gallery environment and interacting with an urban audience is the essence of her creative process. An explosion of new information about Landscape and the earths processes; from contemporary science, satellite information and emerging technologies, encourages the development of a Scientific dimension to Landscape. A trace memory of Landscape is expressed through prior research in maps and journal articles. Direct tracings are recorded through draping the canvas over the ground, wrapping the canvas around andbetween trees. Bringing nature into the studio in the form of branches and leaves further distillates and enhances the final painting. In a world of immediacy and information overload the incorporation of scientific imagery into the final painting transforms it into the realm of abstracted Landscape. This year Natasha has been participating in an artists promotion programme with the Es Baluard Museum of Contemporary in Mallorca, and is researching for a Phd at the University of the Balearic Islands.
