Roscoe Hall b.1978, Chicago, IL

Roscoe Hall is a Birmingham-based artist and chef whose work lives at the intersection of food,

art, and cultural memory. He’s cooked just about everywhere across the U.S., carrying stories

from kitchens into galleries and museums where his works — now in institutional collections —

draw on layered histories. Using materials pulled from the soil, scraps of fabric, and the

everyday, his paintings speak to migration, family, and the survival of the rural South. Beyond

his studio and stove, Roscoe helps build educational platforms to deepen food knowledge,

especially for folks stepping into entrepreneurship and community-driven cooking. His practice

leans into regional research to honor overlooked narratives and spotlight the resilience that still

thrives in and beyond the Southeast.
