John Hall was born in Edmonton, Alberta in 1947 and studied at the Alberta College of Art. He rose to national prominence during the 1970’s with his large hyper-realist still-life paintings of common objects.

Throughout his career Hall has pushed the traditional still life into the contemporary sphere, a fitting frame for the culture of materialistic consumer age.
