About the Artist

Loie Hollowell was born in 1983 and raised in Woodland, California. She lives and works in New York.

Her paintings and drawings use forms such as the mandorla, ogee, and lingam to build symmetrical compositions connected to the body. Sculpted surfaces, light gradients, and central axes give the paintings a physical presence beyond flat image-making.

Hollowell is represented by Pace Gallery. Her work has been shown internationally and has developed a strong collector following around its combination of bodily subject matter, polished surface, and recognizable geometry.

What to Focus On

  • Relief quality

    The sculpted surface should add meaning and physical charge.

  • Light and axis

    Strong works use light gradients and central structure with precision.

  • Body reference

    The best abstractions still feel connected to bodily experience.

Art Spirit Observation

Hollowell is most convincing when the relief surface, color gradient, and bodily reference work as one structure. We would be cautious with works that feel too polished or too symmetrical without enough physical charge. The best pieces have a quiet intensity that comes from the body, not decoration.

Hollowell 最有说服力的作品，会让浮雕表面、色彩渐变和身体线索形成同一个结构。过于精致、过于对称、身体能量不足的作品需要谨慎。好的作品有一种安静的强度，这种强度来自身体经验，装饰效果只是表层。
