James-Allan Holmes: "Origins: Who We Are and How We Live”
The exhibition centers around the concept of “origins,” which are at the core of who we are, the genesis of our lifepath preceding our unique journey which has evolved to this moment in time. As we embrace an awareness that lessons from our past exists to help us grow and inform our sacred nature as an authentic expression of our humanity. Holmes paintings reflect upon the profound aspects of our origin stories, who we are and how we live.
James-Allan Holmes creates brilliant abstract paintings using both soft and bold color palettes and rich textures on canvas to translate elements of his inner life through his unique visual language. James works in acrylics finding the viscosity and drying properties work well to support his spontaneous style present in the instance of inspiration. Holmes states: "I do not plan my paintings, I go into my studio, select music which resonates with my present emotional state, choose a color pallet by intuition then openly throw my heart at the canvas."
