Sasha Hallock
Sasha Hallock is a contemporary abstract painter who lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. With an Iranian father and American mother, Hallock’s paintings speak to this “bringing together,” of disparate pieces to create an object of beauty.
Geometric forms, vibrant colors, odd textures and sculptural landscapes populate Hallock’s paintings. Fueled by the joy of seeing two objects connect, each painting is the result of meticulous building, one line, shape, and color in relationship with the next. Hallock uses a unique abstract language to tap into themes of play, joy and faith.
A graduate of SUNY New Paltz with a concentration in painting and drawing, Hallock has participated in group shows in New York City, Kansas City, and Fort Collins, Colorado. He is on the artistic development team for Transform.
