Join us for the opening reception of Lonnie Hollie’s exhibition, The Movement of Thought.
Thursday, July 11 | 5:30 pm
Exhibition on view July 11 - 27, 2024
Painting has been integral to Holley’s forty-year career as a visual artist, and The Movement of Thought: Paintings & Works on Paper consists of new works made with spray paint, oil sticks, gesso and acrylic. Each employs a laborious stenciling technique that unites fragmented silhouettes into wonderfully optical compositions. The exhibition is a continuation of a series he began as a resident at the Elaine de Kooning House in East Hampton, NY in 2020. Imbued with cultural and artistic metaphor, Holley's multi-media practice incorporates places, people, and events. The work is furious, necessary, urgent—always searching and never stopping.
