① Artwork:
Spirited Dancer
In this oil, acrylic, and graphite painting on paper, the artist depicts an abstract dancer partially in a spotlight. Made out of rigorous brush strokes, the image exemplifies Hollis’ physical process, where her energy gets translated into an image of another human engaged in a different activity.
Braden Hollis’ paintings develop through an intuitive process of layering and removal similar to choreography. Her works often begin with pure color while incorporating and destabilizing images from direct observation, art historical sources, or popular culture.
