Description
Both abstract and corporeal, Holowell's vibrant and geometric paintings conjure imagery of the female body.
New York-based artist Loie Hollowell (born 1983) is perhaps most known for her radiant oil paintings, which employ a visual lexicon of geometric forms and symbolic shapes, rendered in luminescent colors and seductive textures. The biomorphic forms of Hollowell's works evoke bellies, breasts, vulva and buttocks, and abstract the physical and emotional transformations of the body throughout time as a way of appraising seismic issues from sexual freedom to feminism, reproductive rights and motherhood.
This monograph tracks the development of Hollowell's visual language over 10 years: a vocabulary that bridges abstraction with figuration, autobiography with art history and biology with emotion. Fully illustrated with lavish color reproductions and accompanied by a major new essay by Aldrich Chief Curator Amy Smith-Stewart, Space Between: A Survey of Ten Years invites readers to immerse themselves in the luminous world of Hollowell's visionary creations.
