116: What Kind of Support is Needed for Artists to Have Children? A Conversation with Loie Hollowell

In episode 36 of The Great Women Artists Podcast, Katy Hessel interviews the sensational artist, LOIE HOLLOWELL!!!![This episode is brought to you by Alighieri jewellery: www.alighieri.co.uk | use the code TGWA at checkout for 10% off!]And WOW was it fascinating to hear all about the ideas behind Loie's MIND-BLOWING, electric-like paintings that abstract the body through fragments of geometric shapes. Always using a vibrant colour palette, her PULSATING and PSYCHEDELIC works explore themes around sexuality, birth, women's bodies, which we discuss in-depth! First appearing as highly textured two dimensional works, witness them in real life and her works evolve from flat geometric masterpieces into an almost sculptural sphere that at once give the illusion of expanding and contracting, merging and converging.Having only just given birth for the second time a matter of months ago – during a pandemic! – Loie created an incredible body of work titled "Going Soft" in reaction to this, which didn't just depict how the body changed, but how the mind absorbed everything happening... Having grown up in Northern California in the 80s and 90s and now based in Queens, New York, Loie still bases much of her work on her upbringing in the expansive West Coast land, as well as citing from her influencers Agnes Pelton and Georgia O'Keeffe. Through her works, Loie is reimagining the way we don’t just see, but experience women’s bodies in painting, and I hope you enjoy our discussion around this!!

Loie Hollowell was born in 1983 in Woodland, California. She earned a BA from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and an MFA from Virginia Commonwealth University. Originating in autobiography, her paintings explore themes of sexuality, often through abstractions of the human body with an emphasis on female forms. Using strong colors, varied textures, surface build-up and geometric symmetry, her works evoke bodily landscapes that allude to specific body parts in the form of symbols such as Mandorlas and Ogees. Hollowell has had solo exhibitions with Pace gallery in Palo Alto, CA, and is about to open a solo exhibition in March at Pace Hong Kong. She has also had solo exhibitions at Feuer/Mesler gallery in Manhattan and at 106 Green gallery in Brooklyn. She's been in group exhibitions at Anton Kern in NYC, White Cube and Massimo De Carlo in London, Kohn gallery and The Landing in LA, and at Ballroom Marfa in Texas. Brian met up with Loie in her Brooklyn studio  and they had an engaging talk about growing up the child of a painter and teacher, the meaning and symbolism of her paintings, the environment, drawing versus painting, all the while joined by her two active cats who tried their best to join in the podcast.

“Loie Hollowell (b. 1983, Woodland, California) earned a BFA from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and an MFA from Virginia Commonwealth University. Originating in autobiography, her paintings explore themes of sexuality, often through abstractions of the human body and an emphasis on female forms. With strong colors, varied texture, and the symmetry of sacred geometry, her works evoke bodily landscapes and allude to iconography such as the almond-shaped mandorlas found in medieval religious painting. Hollowell was the recipient of a 2011 Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Fellowship Award. She lives and works in New York.” - Pace Gallery
