Renowned for her vibrant use of color and large-scale compositions, Laurel Holloman creates paintings that pulse with movement and emotional intensity. Her work seamlessly blurs the boundaries between abstraction and figuration, employing bold, expressive brushstrokes alongside delicate, precise details. Through abstraction, she weaves subtle references to elemental imagery like water, fire, earth and the sky, reflecting a fascination with science and existential inquiry.
A hallmark of Holloman’s technique is her innovative use of color composition and textured surfaces, which lend her paintings a tactile, three-dimensional quality. Her practice frequently explores themes of nature and science, depicting flora, fauna, and landscapes. Layering pigments and patinas of gold and silver, she creates works that shift and shimmer with the viewer’s perspective. She also uses unique color choices and titles that create a unique dialogue between language and abstract imagery. Drawn to the concept of ‘liminal spaces’—the thresholds between life and death, reality and imagination—Holloman invites viewers to discover personal meaning within her blurred, dreamlike imagery.
