Palm Springs Pools by D.J. Hall

December 11th, 2009 | Posted in: art

D.J. Hall is a  Los Angeles born painter, who makes (very) realistic work. What makes her work stand out is that she approaches each new painting as though she is producing a film: selecting models, wardrobe changes, locations, props, time sequences, etc. And it shows. Because of this thorough approach, over the 35 years she has been painting, she has captured the spirit of 3 decades. Especially the Palm Spring’s Pools series has amazingly captured the decadence of the ’90. I can’t help but think of mediocre soap opera’s when I see this, and man did fashion suck in those days!
