“There’s a wonderful sort of jewel-like quality about where the sea meets the land. There’s no way of ever being bored, no way not to be stimulated.” – Kerry Hallam
Kerry Hallam’s familiar and popular coastal views, vivid seascapes, and timeless, sun-drenched village scenes continue to enchant and inspire his collectors worldwide. His art is most noted for its power to evoke emotions, opulence of light, and distinctive color harmonies. He paints in a true impressionistic style with clear Fauvist influences, and his love of Mediterranean and nautical imagery forms the foundation of his work.
For Hallam, who spent his childhood in the dreary, “sooty,” environment of Northern England, anywhere with sunlight, fresh air, and a vista reaching to the heavens was heaven itself. In "Auberge de Soleil," he drops us off at a rustic yet elegant inn, nestled between a vineyard and a sparkling inlet. The stately auberge welcomes its guests as the owners might have done when the beautiful mansion was an estate home – with a warm smile, a comfortable seat, and a glass of wine made from their own harvest. When your stay is over, you leave reluctantly, carrying cases of the best they have to offer, which you will enjoy at home as you recall your wonderful holiday.

About the Artist
An artist with a bold palette and a voracious appetite for life, Kerry Hallam is as refreshing and spirited as his paintings. The story of how he traveled from a daydreaming young artist from the north of England to a world-renowned expressionist visionary artist, living and painting in the continental US is one of great passion and perseverance. Hallam showed early artistic talent when he won a six-year scholarship to London University’s Central College of Art. After a formal art education under British master painters Leslie Cole, Patrick Heron, and Hans Tisdale, he completed his military service in the prestigious Gurkha brigade in Hong Kong and Malaya. Hallam’s talent was further acknowledged when he was selected for inclusion in Britain’s Royal Society of Artists in Watercolor. As a young artist searching for his own truth, Hallam immersed himself in the energy and passion of Southern France. The cradle of French Impressionism, with a legendary landscape, has given birth to many master artists through the ages. Acting upon this influence, Hallam says, “My ambition was to make definitive statements. Using van Gogh, Cezanne, Matisse, and Dufy as departure points, I would…build on their feelings, dance to their music”.
