Loie Hollowell

One of Hollowell's most iconic series is The Space Between (2016–2018), in which she creates dynamic compositions filled with radiant, organic shapes and vibrant gradients of color. These works suggest the interconnectedness of the body and the cosmos, with circular forms and linear patterns referencing the body’s cycles and energy. Through the use of delicate and vibrant hues, often evoking the colors of sunrise, twilight, or soft skin tones, Hollowell’s paintings engage the viewer’s senses, creating a heightened emotional experience that blends the abstract with the sensual.

Hollowell’s work is emotionally moving because it speaks directly to the viewer’s subconscious, inviting reflection on themes of intimacy, vulnerability, and the complexities of human existence. The geometric and biomorphic forms in her pieces often appear to pulse with life, suggesting an ongoing process of transformation, growth, and connection. This ability to evoke such deep emotions through abstract forms and colors is what makes her work particularly powerful.
