  • Solo Show "Ecstatic Time" at Five Car Garage, Los Angeles

    Solo Show "Ecstatic Time" at Five Car Garage, Los Angeles

    I am so excited to be presenting a new body of work at the gallery Five Car Garage in Santa Monica, opening this Saturday, February 12th from 12-4pm. These paintings were inspired by my relocation from Berlin to Los Angeles and reflect my immediate surroundings and the person I share this space with. The show will run through March 19th and will be open Saturdays 12-4pm and by appointment on weekdays during the run of the show. Email info@emmagrayhq.com to make an appointment or to get the map.

    From the press release:

    We are delighted to present Andrew Holmquist’s exhibition
    “ECSTATIC TIME” opening February 12th from 12-4pm at Five Car
    Garage.

    Andrew Holmquist (b. 1985) explores the unsettled nature of
    contemporary identity as seen through the lens of the free-
    wheeling present. Drawing on myriad cultural references, from
    the density and scale found in history painting to the singular
    and tender moments found in intimate-scale forms such as the
    miniature, Holmquist's works manifest as realizations of
    embodied landscapes; hyperreal scenes of imagination, and
    personal memory (except from a longer text by Omar Kholeif)

    “These paintings are the product of my relocation to Los Angeles
    from Berlin, a shift that gave me new perspectives on my
    practice, the world, and the relationship between the two. I have returned to the simple question “What do you care about?”
    repeatedly, and increasingly I find the answer in my immediate
    surroundings and the person I share this space with.

    Answers in small moments that stop me in my tracks.

    More than ever, I trust that in these moments there is something
    worth holding on to, regardless, or perhaps emphatically,
    because of their quotidian and humble makeup.

    The paintings were created as a way to spend more time in these
    moments, to think through their conditions–their lighting,
    actors, setting, and props–and somehow preserve the spark.

    These paintings are swift and open and fluid and searching.

    These paintings are happening now. They are first person
    paintings filled with my queerness, my looking, my desire, and
    my delight.

    And there is an excess, an overwhelming nature to the material
    handling that signals to something beyond the bare facts of the
    situation. These fleeting moments are like eruptions, like
    breaks in the dam revealing the quotidian as abundance, or, in
    the words of Jose Esteban Munoz, as “[an] affective excess that
    presents the enabling force of a forward-dawning futurity that
    is queerness.”

    And the queer relational bliss that Munoz describes has “the ability to rewrite a larger map of everyday life.”

    These paintings draw you in close, envelop you in their
    unfolding space and tuck you into the weave of their open
    brushwork. They invite you. The door is open. The time and place
    for relational bliss is now. There is hope. The map will be
    redrawn.

  • Drive-By-Art LA

    Drive-By-Art LA

    I'm excited to one of the artists participating in Drive-By-Art Los Angeles taking place Memorial Day Weekend. My home is on the "East LA" side of things, so my installation will take place on the first of two weekends, May 23-25 from noon-6pm each day.

    Here's a description of the project, for more info click the link above. Hope to see you drive by this weekend!

    The coronavirus pandemic has disrupted cultural networks bringing many galleries and museums to a halt and moving visual arts experiences online. Meanwhile, drive-by baby showers and birthdays have become the norm for celebrating special events during this time of social distancing amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Enter Drive-By-Art, an outdoor public art exhibition that is experienced from the safety and intimacy of one’s own automobile. Not only does Drive-By-Art create a sense of needed solidarity within the artistic and cultural communities now entrenched in the Los Angeles basin, but it also offers an experience that is otherwise severely limited by our current social distancing practices: interacting with tangible objects in the real world.

    Like the first rendition which took place on the South Fork of Long Island’s East End (May 9-10), Drive-By-Art in Los Angeles is similar to other drive-by exhibitions that have become commonplace in the new reality of the Covid-19 pandemic. As it was recently reported in the New York Times Art and Design section (May 10, 2020), Drive-By-Art is a response to a generalized feeling permeating the networks of artists and cultural producers sequestered in their homes and studios dealing with depressed income, isolation and the fears that precarious futures produce.

  • video recording of Comic Book reading and talk

    In celebration of my exhibition HQME I recently did a zoom reading of a new WiP comic book that ties into the Suits of Armor drawings that are part of the show. I also talked a bit about the show in general and shared my thoughts about keeping busy during this strange time.

    The whole talk, including Q&A at the end, lasts about an hour. The comic book reading starts at the 20:40 minute mark and goes to the 34:00 minute mark

  • HQME now on view on the Carrie Secrist Gallery online viewing room!

    HQME now on view on the Carrie Secrist Gallery online viewing room!

    I want to invite you to visit the Carrie Secrist Gallery: Online Viewing Room to peruse my exhibition HQME—which launched today! The virtual exhibition is a new endeavor for me, and it has been a welcome challenge to focus on during this strange time.

    Some of the work in the exhibition was made prior to our new reality, and it reflects my fascination with the wild landscape I now call home: Los Angeles. Some of the work was made during isolation, and reflects the pivoting of my attention inwards. I have been strengthened by the intimacy of what I can control in the studio, and my wish is that this work brings a spark to whoever needs it within their own four walls.

    I hope you are all finding your own sources of power at the moment. Stay strong—there’s no way out but through!

    See you on the other side of through.

  • Temporal Figuration @ LVL3 Gallery

    Hello! I am pleased to announce that I will be in a three person show titled "Temporal Figuration" at LVL3 opening this Saturday, April 14th from 6:00pm-10:00pm. The other two artists are Jade Walker, a sculptor based in Austin, and David Brandon Geeting, a photographer based in Brooklyn. LVL3 is located at 1542 N Milwaukee ave, I hope to see you there Saturday night!

    Temporal Figuration explores the loose and playful use of figural elements in each of the artists’ work. David Brandon Geeting employs commonplace techniques to explore visual possibilities in the seemingly banal, giving his inanimate subjects a human feeling. Andrew Holmquist combines abstraction with fragments of figural representation to depict elements, both tangible and impalpable, of the human experience. Jade Walker evokes and explores bodily forms and gender duality, piecing together found objects to create abstract sculptures. Each artist pulls the art out of the everyday and the ordinary with the manipulation of medium and material process.

  • Shout out for my show in this week's Paul Klein Art Letter

    I am very proud to be mentioned on the list of Paul Klein's top picks from the fall season opening shows in Chicago this past weekend in his most recent Art Letter. Here is what he had to say:

    Carrie Secrist has married and altered her gallery's agenda to greater emphasize young and emerging artists and she starts of the season with a bang. Andrew Holmquist is a recent graduate of the School of the Art Institute. Some of his paintings are glorious, a few are clunkers. some are humorous and all are brave. Holmquist has joyous talent and trusts his aesthetic impulses, which over time will surely get honed, but for now he's sharing his not very bridled gusto with us. I love the vulnerability.

    To see the entire list check out the following link.

  • Solo Exhibition: Andrew Holmquist: WORLDS COLLIDE! @ Carrie Secrist Gallery

    A one-person exhibition of my paintings, entitled "WORLDS COLLIDE" is currently on display at Carrie Secrist Gallery in the West Loop neighborhood of Chicago.
