14. Riley Holloway, Painter: The Individual as a Catalyst, Nostalgia, & Self Definition
Riley Holloway was born in Los Angeles, CA (1989). He currently lives and works in Dallas, TX. Growing up, Holloway developed an early interest in art, learning from his mother, an artist herself. He attended The Art Institute of Dallas and the Florence Academy of Art.
He is best known for his dynamic work and fresh look at figurative art. His images are often accompanied by text and personal references embedded within the work. Holloway uses a traditional oil painting technique and bold lines to create depth within the portraits. There is a wonderful counterbalance of softness and masculinity seen in the works.
We discuss his technique to painting during a pandemic, the concept of self publishing, and the individual as a catalyst.
Holloway’s aesthetics create familiar spaces rich in storytelling, free from constraints, and true to his subjects. His content is rich in drama, history, and intimacy.
