Loie Hollowell

Loie Hollowell

A virtuoso of biomorphic abstraction who explores the optics of the flesh and the birth of the universe.

Loie Hollowell is known for her paintings, drawings, and sculptural wallworks that explore the sensuality and spirituality of geometric abstraction and the human body. Drawing from her own life experiences, she uses an array of artistic methods, from casting to painted swirls, stucco-effect sponge dabs, and lines made with angle brushes. Together these techniques create highly optical works full of symbolic shapes that explore themes of sexuality, pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding.

Hollowell (b. 1983, Woodland, CA) has work in many public collections including: Centre Pompidou, Paris; Albertina Museum, Vienna; Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C.; LACMA; ICA, Miami; Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Bentonville, AR; Kunstmuseum Hague, the Netherlands; M+ Museum, Hong Kong; Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; and Zentrum Paul Klee, Bern, Switzerland, among others. She has been awarded the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Fellowship Award; the Constance Saltonstall Foundation for the Arts residency; and the Queens Art Fund Grant. She has enjoyed solo exhibitions at The Anderson at VCU School of the Arts; Manetti Shrem Museum of Art at the University of California, Davis; Long Museum West Bund, Shanghai; and the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, Ridgefield, CT. She has a BFA from the University of California, Santa Barbara and an MFA from Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA. Hollowell lives and works in Queens, NY.
