LA Hollins is a Houston native and contemporary fauvist devoted to modern abstract expression.  Her process in creating visual art is spontaneous, lushly textured and instinctive; resulting in multi-layered works reticent of light, detail, chaos and experience.  Pieces expose extreme color, expressive movement, raw contrast and emotional energy.  Simple and complex perspectives emerge and fall through repeated destruction and reiteration.  Vulnerability and streght born withing each canvas, as in life.

Classic artistic inspiration ~ Gauguin, Cezanne, Picasso, Terlikowski, Klimt, Matisse, de Kooning, Bacon, Neel and Francis.  Contemporary interests include Doig, Dumas, Wray and Nozkowski.  Figurative and nature inspired abstracts, primitive and deconstructed resembling Soutine, Kossoff or de Kooning.  Process is very satisfying to create works so beautiful and so imperfect in the same respect.

Thank you for your interest in my work.  Please support living, self-representing artists witness and represent life in fascinating, inspiring and creative ways every day. peace ~z
