The eight selected prints highlight over 30 years of Kathleen Holder’s remarkable career as an abstract artist. Holder is known for her dramatic use of pastels, with a strong emphasis on the metaphysical. Her work captures the light of the underlying unknown form with vibrant hues and a unique layering of pastels. While her art is minimalist and nonfigurative, it still conveys a very complicated scene.
“(I) keep the work intentionally veiled and vague so it does require the viewer to participate and figure out the meaning of the work,” Holder said. “THEY finish the work.”
Audiences are encouraged to attend Holder’s post-show talk back Friday. May 16 and Saturday. May 17.
