In an attempt to visualize his emotions and inner turmoil he set about creating a series of surreal oil paintings titled <a href="http://www.alexhallart.com/gallery/">Relativity</a> depicting anonymous people in similar forms of free-fall and indecision. Just looking at these images I believe Hall has an extremely promising career ahead of him. All of his new works are currently available as <a href="http://www.alexhallart.bigcartel.com/">giclee art prints</a>, and if you own a gallery I might consider getting in touch with him.</p> </div> <div class="entry-utility"><span class="author"></span><span class="tag-links"><br/></span></div> </div> </blockquote>http://jeannemanalo.tumblr.com/post/50599583428http://jeannemanalo.tumblr.com/post/50599583428Thu, 16 May 2013 15:58:21 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/ec83f7754034c8da8f790331a8382f55/tumblr_mmwfkxsFyp1qbsu0po1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/158ac0266b61e3c0436ec901745f32b5/tumblr_mmwfkxsFyp1qbsu0po2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/6e93eb0b4154d413a514c4a2609621ef/tumblr_mmwfkxsFyp1qbsu0po4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://abluegirl.tumblr.com/post/50582502377/the-strange-beauty-of-diatoms-and-phytoplankton">abluegirl</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>The Strange Beauty of Diatoms and Phytoplankton - <a href="http://www.scientificamerican.com/slideshow.cfm?id=phytoplankton-strange-beauty-sea-microscopic-plants">Full Gallery</a></p> </blockquote>http://jeannemanalo.tumblr.com/post/50599492960http://jeannemanalo.tumblr.com/post/50599492960Thu, 16 May 2013 15:57:07 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/557a12cc3098a01015d011b9d909ba6e/tumblr_mmbxo2t8rt1qcgwn4o2_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/c0ae8ecfd47fa9f9ed458737578ded2b/tumblr_mmbxo2t8rt1qcgwn4o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/>http://jeannemanalo.tumblr.com/post/50598898894http://jeannemanalo.tumblr.com/post/50598898894Thu, 16 May 2013 15:48:57 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/7bf96a02269741628cc76358e621a88b/tumblr_miwlmsaKPA1qgopyyo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/5720498e494cd3b10ab08fc65ac69602/tumblr_miwlmsaKPA1qgopyyo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/57f73e2f55da0c0bafe9338adbbd06f8/tumblr_miwlmsaKPA1qgopyyo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/405705815ccd43d9c067b12ceb4cbdae/tumblr_miwlmsaKPA1qgopyyo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/c250d9880a79637be92c4825f668903c/tumblr_miwlmsaKPA1qgopyyo5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/7d3b696fccf4d18a14c8d7471f2bc343/tumblr_miwlmsaKPA1qgopyyo6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/8acd9e2c53f8a57b48edfeb7ab7077a8/tumblr_miwlmsaKPA1qgopyyo7_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/94ae255bfec10f612b8d9afab06174cb/tumblr_miwlmsaKPA1qgopyyo9_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/b2ce324057eb464ad5471b4e77a60bb5/tumblr_miwlmsaKPA1qgopyyo8_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/210a6789df084d2c5d154740edd1907e/tumblr_miwlmsaKPA1qgopyyo10_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><blockquote> <p><span>Love takes you where you’ve never been before.</span></p> </blockquote>http://jeannemanalo.tumblr.com/post/44711994952http://jeannemanalo.tumblr.com/post/44711994952Wed, 06 Mar 2013 10:40:03 -0600<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/74ae0b0311d464dfb7e5658699217cdc/tumblr_mi0qhp7XST1qkaonwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://jeannemanalo.tumblr.com/post/42781401764http://jeannemanalo.tumblr.com/post/42781401764Sun, 10 Feb 2013 14:59:39 -0600“Love is the great conqueror of lust.”<br/><br/> - <em><p><em>C.S.
