Evan Holloway (b. 1967, Whittier, California) has been a quietly influential artist, particularly in Los Angeles, since the late 1990s. His “Analog Counterrevolution,” a manifesto-like term he coined two decades ago, insists upon the physical experience of the object in real space as the site for meaning in an artwork. Primarily a sculptor, Holloway engages the challenges and limitations of object-making as an opportunity to synthesize compositional and conceptual rigor, physical engagement, and intuition. His artworks retain a democratic openness and accessibility even as they experiment with forms and concepts from various aesthetic and esoteric histories. Driven by such interests, the resulting work can take markedly different forms, as the “style” of the work is determined by factors extending beyond the strictly visual.
