"New York and Santa Fe: Figurative and Abstract Paintings by Will Holub" at the Hygienic Galleries, New London, CT, May 30 to June 27, 2009

2009-05-29T10:45:00.000-04:00

WILL HOLUB. "New York and Santa Fe." 2009. Installation View. Curated by Will Holub.

Photographs by Will Holub 2009.

Will Holub’s June 2009 exhibition at the Hygienic Galleries paired his figurative and abstract paintings made while living in New York City (1975 to 1991) and Santa Fe (1992 to 2006). These pairings invited the viewer to question the assumed differences between varied approaches to art making in order to see their actual shared properties and processes.

"Will Holub's Never Weary, Big Ryan and Met Ship are each at play with patterns like the geometry of Kasimir Malevich turned baroque, or to flower. Like the fox of Archilochus, Holub does many things, his curiosity ranging from form to form, experimenting with deceptions of scale and medium, especially in several works with laid-on segments of small panels, like the jade armor made for ancient Chinese burials or some priestly breast plates of color. Each of these is an exercise in surprise, some with small portraits scattered like faces flashing into view in the midst of an orderly mob."

"In the paintings I am a Catholic and Dayton, we are among families of ghosts who remain recognizably ordinary and human, unaltered by mortality. Ben Bommarito, Moberly, MO, a more recent study from a series of veterans, is an icon of loss, a freeze frame of that person who existed before the war changed everything, and him."

From “Full Disclosure” by Stephen Vincent Kobasa, The New Haven Advocate, June 2009.
