Roscoe Hall is a truth-teller in pigment who questions previously unexamined histories across media ranging from food to paint. His work nods toward artistic predecessors such as Romare Bearden, Kara Walker, and Purvis Young through fractured narratives centered on identity, historical events and mortality. While Hall’s irreverent paintings work as front-page illustrations of personal reflection, they’re also powerful meditations on his Black experience.
