Troy, Alabama, is not the first place that comes to mind as a
source of great art. It’s probably not even the thousandth place.
But it is the birthplace of Fred Nall Hollis, an internationally
acclaimed and celebrated artist who works under the moniker Nall.
In his large-scale mixed media collages and paintings, often
featuring his own print work, Nall tackles the most difficult
topics in art: death, religion, politics, sexuality, gender, and
more. Truly an artist with a multicultural focus, the subject
matter of Nall's work originates in his own story, shared in Nall
at TROY. After attending the University of Alabama during the
turbulent 1960s, Nall boldly ventured to Europe and developed
relationships with some of the West’s most influential figures,
including Salvador Dali, James Baldwin, Prince Albert of Monaco,
and Ringo Starr. His career blossomed in Europe, but Nall began to
feel a longing for his hometown of Troy and artists with which he
might find a close kinship. Nall at TROY is an exploration of the
artist’s homecoming, his promotion of Alabama artists, and his
establishing of unique relationships with students and faculty at
Troy University. Nall’s contributions to the town, such as the
creation of an international art center and the Nall Museum, have
caused the community to have a great affinity for the artist. Nall
at TROY is an opportunity for the city of Troy and its excellent
university to share one of Alabama’s best-kept secrets with the
world.
