Will Holub’s exhibition, It’s Today, explores issues of chance and recognition with textural abstract paintings that have fragmented photographic imagery randomly arrayed across their surfaces. Made using a variety of approaches, and with materials such as card stock, C- prints and transfer images, they address not only the consequences of image fracturing, but also provide encouraging evidence of the strengthening aspects of reconstruction.

After three decades of experimentation with the tactile properties of paper as a low-relief material on the surfaces of his paintings, Holub continues to investigate how and why haptic art first establishes a “felt,” rather than a simply “seen,” connection with viewers.

Will Holub was the winner of the 2020 Five Points Small Works exhibition juried by Power Boothe.
