Holly Parker

“Many historians, critics, and even artists such as Robert Motherwell believed that younger artists could only add a footnote to the developments of the mid-twentieth century abstractionists.  Pure abstraction has nonetheless continued as a ripe form for exploration.  Arguably, some of the most compelling works of pure abstraction in recent years have been built upon contemporary concepts or media.  In Holly Parker’s work, these two contemporary qualities are inseparable and become a means of communicating the immediacy of our era.”
