Tore Hallas er billedkunstner med base i København, Danmark.
Han arbejder med temaer som kropslighed og queerness – og kropslighed som queerness; religiøse ontologier og intention; samt fotografisk og filmisk refleksion som både tema og metode. Han arbejder primært med video, fotografi og tekst, samt undervisning med fokus på empatisk feedback.
Økonomisk, strukturel og interpersonel undertrykkelse, personlige fortællinger og intersektionaliteten mellem vold og positioner er understrømme i hans værker – sammen med rejsen som både fysisk bevægelse og symbolsk søgen, og samspillet mellem verden og den fremmedgjorte krop og bevidsthed.
Han har en MFA fra Det Kongelige Danske Kunstakademi, er modtager af Statens Kunstfonds karriereprogram Den Unge Kunstneriske Elite, samt Poul Erik Bech Fondens Kunstpris og 15. Juni Fondens Hæderspris, og har udstillet både nationalt og internationalt i USA, Sverige, Storbritannien, Finland, Tyskland, Portugal og Sydkorea.
Hans værker indgår i samlingerne på Vejle Kunstmuseum, Malmö Konstmuseum, Sorø Kunstmuseum, Statens Kunstfond og ARKEN Museum for Moderne Kunst.
