Press Release
Harkawik is pleased to present Hollowell Heaven, our second solo exhibition with artist David Hollowell, focused on works executed between 1985 and 2005, most of which have not been exhibited publicly in the years since. Hollowell Heaven is both a fixture within the exhibition — an ecclesiastical presence hovering in space, inviting the viewer to ascend steps to the pearly gates — and a broader framework for understanding the painted tableaux as an aspirational psychic plane, peopled with the characters that distinguish Hollowell’s singular brand of arresting neo-realism. The titular painting itself is a capstone—a wildly ambitious, funny, moving, beguiling salon, in which the artist’s family, contemporaries, strangers and idols shed their standing and ascend to a neo-classical, theatrical plane.
Recognized as one of the great postwar American painters, Hollowell has long worked on his own terms, developing a singular body of work largely outside the dominant rhythms of the art world.…
