David Hollowell: Hollowell Heaven presents works from 1985 to 2005, most unseen since their making, centering on the titular painting — an ambitious salon in which family, contemporaries, strangers, and idols ascend together to a neo-classical theatrical plane. Hollowell's mature visual language fuses technical virtuosity with personal mythology: trompe l'oeil passages destabilize the realism they construct, painted objects hover between image and thing, and light structures space as much as it describes it. Aiming to be "real, not realistic," Hollowell built a practice grounded in observation and invention, his recurring fixations — Americana, hero worship, artistic lineage, performance — tempered throughout by tenderness, humor, and irreverence.
