Holloways focus has always been the depiction of human anatomy, in whole and in dissected form. Years ago, artists would learn anatomy by looking directly at a dissected human body, says Holloway. Today, artists have the benefit of using anatomy books with color photographs. In addition, our modern methods of dissection allow for really precise cuts in showing a cross-section of any part of a human body. This really gives artists a different way of looking at anatomy. Holloway exploits this view in a unique series of works reminiscent of his Catholic upbringing.
Currently, Holloways independent work centers on depicting the Holy Relics of Saints and Biblical figures as highly detailed anatomical images. Fusing these images with passages from the Bible and text from treatises on medical dissection, the artist has produced three distinct series of paintings and mixed-media drawings, entitled Holy Relic, Adam, and Sacred Heart.
"I love to work with concepts", says Holloway. "I have also created a Madonna and Child series. These works at first appear to the viewer as religious icons. But if you look closer, you will notice I have included an underlying femme fatale theme using a lot of ironic symbolism."
Over the next few years, Holloway will apply his expert knowledge of classical theories of composition, including the Golden Section to his forthcoming body of work.
