“Memory and Movement” — An Art Exhibition by Laurel Holloman

Laurel Holloman debuted her series of new work in “Memory and Movement” on American Independence Day in the heart of Paris. The opening night was a success, with a crowd of international guests who got the first glimpse of her latest pieces, including Babel East and West, La Danse Bleue, Innerbloom, The Rose and the Serpent, Sundream, Déflorée, Life Aquatic, Nightbloom, and Illusive Thoughts. “Memory and Movement” exhibition presents stunning new work as well as several paintings from her series Color Forest, which premiered during the 2018 Milan Design Week. For this exhibition, the theme of movement is beautifully expressed with swirling shapes flowing across each canvas and energetic brushstrokes whipping across rich shards of color. Certain images are deliberately blurred so the viewer must sit with each piece a little longer to perceive its meaning. Many of the larger pieces are paintings within paintings where she has left the first layer peeking through the next by either blurring the final layer or scraping back to the first layer underneath it all. She purposely juxtaposed the technical memory of the paint with her own conscious and unconscious memory. Co-produced by Little Monkey Productions (USA) and Claudine Gil Galerie (France), “Memory and Movement” is Laurel Holloman's second solo exhibition at Galerie Joseph and third in Paris.
