Chase Hall's first solo exhibition, GLORY GLORY, curated by Emie Diamond, chronicles years of portraiture and exploration, presenting a window of resilience, empathy and wisdom.

Hall’s work evokes a universal sense of optimism and highlights the significant bond he shares with his subjects and surroundings. Compelled by the histories of others, Hall’s work presents a profound vision of stoic fortitude and showcases the riveting aura extending from his subjects. milk and honey II (edition of 100) is a color portrait book featuring 60 pages of intimate studies illustrating New York City’s soul and grit.
