William Holton - Configuration Spaces
Janet Kurnatowski is pleased to present “Configuration Spaces”, new paintings by William Holton from June 11- July 11, 2010. The gallery will be closed the Fourth of July weekend. This will be Mr. Holton’s first one-person exhibition with Janet Kurnatowski. Please join him at the open- ing reception on Friday, June 11th from 7-9pm.
Holton creates a myriad of cellular structures in his oil paintings with a technique that involves compressed air. This process gives him the ability to manipulate the paint in such a matter that he can form a depth in work where each layer of paint is visible, and the minutest details lead to a cumulative configuration. The intricate patterns in Holton’s paintings reflect his fascination with complex systems found in nature. “ My hope is to express how even the smallest image implies infinity, presenting a fragile stasis within an inevitable movement toward disorder.”
William Holton is the recipient of a NEA grant. Holton exhibits nationally and has had exhibits in Knoxville Museum of Art, TN, Peninsula Fine Arts Center, VA, Gardner Gallery, GA, Louis Meisel, Soho NY.
