Loie Hollowell’s artistic practice exists in the liminal space between abstraction and figuration, otherworldly and corporeal. Her paintings, drawings, and prints explores the bodily experience of landscape. Highly autobiographical, her works delves into themes of sexuality, pregnancy and birth. Hollowell’s geometric compositions use symbolic shapes such as the mandorla, ogee, and lingam to build her distinctive visual lexicon. In referencing her own personal experiences, Hollowell’s artworks are at once personal and universal in their fierce vulnerability. Her use of symmetry – often anchoring her compositions in a central, singular axis – relates her paintings to her own body as well as the natural world.
