Stephen Holding's profile

Stephen Holding : Artist Statement

Stephen Holding's work can be described as a complex web of space, time, and sensory experience. He envisions human civilization as a vast three-dimensional fingerprint that contains a vivid biometric signature of human nature, both creative and destructive. Stephen devotes his time to diligently examining this intricate and fragile framework, collecting and observing imagery from around the world and translating these experiences and images into his constantly-evolving body of work.
Art Journalist Lara Verrochi writes:
“ Buildings dissolve and then rebuild into prisms of color. Cities undulate as though underwater. Graffiti-like forms fracture the canvas and expose the pulse hidden within the landscape. Neon birds bolt across the sky above dripping horizons. The works of Stephen Holding carry an unusual and alluring power. In some ways they are painstakingly structured and architectural while in others impressionistic and fluid. These are contemplative pieces steeped in urban mysticism that result in an often stylized, supernatural beauty. They provide both a wistful commentary on the universe and supply us with infectious joy. Here the world is an organism, a constantly shifting puzzle- an evocative fantasy that is entwined with our emotional life on this planet. Vibrant color spins webs across the canvas while clouds simmer just below the surface. Fine art combines with multimedia and shrouds us in his surreal vision. They remind me of fireworks, the secret lining of the heart, outer space, rare fauna and alien calligraphy. His pieces are gentle yet energetic- executed with an intuitive style that submerges us in a dream. Like an abstract thought carrying blueprints. ”
