CONTEMPORARY ART EXHIBITION ART SQUARED GALLERY FEATURING THE ARTWORK
OF LAUREL HOLLOMAN AT PERSHING SQUARE, DTLAPershing Square, located in
the heart of Downtown LA, is happy to announce a new art show by Art
Squared Gallery featuring acclaimed artist and award-winning actress
Laurel Holloman. Known for her vibrant use of color and
larger-than-life paintings, Holloman captures tumultuous emotions with
vivid movement to create a three-dimensional illusion.
Laurel is honored to be exhibiting at Pershing Square. She has had
studios in the historic Toy Factory Building as well as the Jefferson
Arts District in DTLA. She is currently preparing a London solo
exhibition called Deep Dive that will open on July 7, 2021, at The
Bankside Gallery London (UK).
“I FEEL MY PAINTINGS HAVE A SECRET LANGUAGE BORN OUT OF SCIENCE AND
MY OBSESSIVENESS WITH WHY AND HOW WE ARE HERE. I PAINT THROUGH
ABSTRACTION WITH SUBTLE HINTS OF ELEMENTAL IMAGERY; THE SKY, WATER,
FIRE, EARTH, A BIRD FLYING, CELLS REPRODUCING, OR A CELESTIAL BED OF
STARS. I AM OBSESSED WITH METALLICS AND TEXTURES AND USE PLAYFUL
BRUSHSTROKES THAT GIVE PAINTINGS A THIRD DIMENSION WHILE KEEPING
MOVEMENT TO PRODUCE AN EMOTIONAL RESPONSE.”
ABOUT PERSHING SQUARE:
Operated by the Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks and
located in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles, Pershing Square is an
outdoor concert and event center. The Pershing Square Park Advisory
Board (PAB) and the Dew Foundation regularly promote emerging and
mid-career local artists.
ABOUT THE EXHIBITION:
The Gallery showcases large 2D vinyl prints and 3D sculptures
throughout the fountain and orange grove areas of the venue. Pershing
Square's new 2020-2021 show will highlight the artwork of artist
Laurel Holloman. For this event, the Art Squared Gallery has selected
six works from a 2019 exhibition titled Memory and Movement that
premiered in Paris at Galerie Joseph and was chosen by Arts in The
City as one of the summer’s top 10 exhibitions in Paris. The pieces
will be exhibited as 8x8 ft high-definition digital images on the
outdoor gallery’s large-scale panels.
The Pershing Square Exhibit is open to the public until the end of
January 2021. In addition to the exhibit, Pershing Square will also be
airing an exclusive interview with the artist as part of its “Green
Room Interviews” series and a mini-documentary, which will show
behind-the-scenes footage of the installation process and additional
anecdotes about the artwork from Laurel Holloman herself. The
interview and mini-doc will be released separately during the showing
of the exhibit and will be on view on the YouTube channel of City of
Los Angeles Recreation And Parks.
