Jim Holl
All The Living Things
Jim Holl’s solo show “All The Living Things” is a direct, painterly response to natural phenomena. These small paintings will be published in an upcoming book and feature meditations on the intersection of science, art, symbol and archetypes. In Jim Holl’s “All the Living Things”, text and paintings correlate in both literal and associative ways. The texts address phenomena, human perception, and the art of painting through fragments and summations culled from readings and Holl’s contemporary perspective. Woven together, these insights give the paintings poetic nuance that address the meaning of our existence in the world. Mr. Holl notes: “Three thousand years ago, the Bhagavad Gita talked about the ‘vibratory nature of life,’ of everything… So, All the Living Things has to do with this vibration, expressive of teeming energy.”
“All The Living Things” opens with a reception for the artist on Saturday, March 4, 5-8pm and runs through March 26, 2017.
