Gemma Holzer
Posted by charles uzzell edwards on
Gemma makes large scale paintings that use brightly colored acrylic and oil on canvas. The paintings have a vibrant and flat quality that mimic the online realm. Her art is a transposition of digital drawings into physical painting. These overly saturated scenes suggest memories of youth.
Her work explores themes concerning interpersonal relationships, loneliness and reality, through the use of childlike imagery. The paintings are an escape from existence; the intention being to take the viewer into a make-believe virtual world.
Holzer’s work revolves around a fetus-like character named PinkBoy, who inhabits worlds appropriated from existing cartoon imagery. PinkBoy is a self-portrait; a personal avatar; a depiction of childhood. He is placed within the artificial worlds to consider issues around being human in today’s age.
Gemma will take part in our first group show as bunny contemporary 'Turn and Face the Strange'.
