Eric Holzman: Small Paintings

08 Jan, 2015 - 07 Feb, 2015
Lori Bookstein Fine Art is pleased to announce an exhibition of recent paintings by Eric Holzman. This is the artist's first solo show at the gallery. 

As the title of the exhibition indicates, this show will be comprised of small paintings of related landscapes. The artist begins each work outdoors and on-site in various locations in Westchester and the Hudson valley. After beginning the paintings in situ, he completes the 
works in his New York City studio. In his words, he is 鈥渃ompelled to complete the paintings by making them feel more like the place than look like the place.鈥 The artist often works on many paintings at once, taking several weeks to several years to complete each work. 

The painterly quality of Holzman鈥檚 work lends itself to (and helps create) the emotional quality in his subject matter. Many layers of paint are woven together to reveal carefully and subtly articulated tree limbs or swirling masses of air that seem almost tangible. Richly 
textured surfaces, with the occasional introduction of sand, seem to reinforce the tactile quality of nature 鈥 sometimes articulating his subject and at other times obscuring it. The results are jewel-like paintings, which envelope and transport the viewer into the artists鈥 
Arcadian dreamscapes.
