ART21 NY CLOSE UP: LOIE HOLLOWELL
2021, US, 8 mins“Painter Loie Hollowell creates highly abstracted and yet deeply personal representations of the human body. A California native, Hollowell works with a vocabulary of elemental, organic shapes and renders them in vibrant, high-contrast color, evoking the ‘pure light, pure space, [and] pure emotion’ of artists like Robert Irwin and other California-based Light and Space movement artists.
