From MSK Art Space:
“Mike Hollis has always struck me as a unique person in the Art Houston scene. I believe he is one of the first to add geometric elements into his work in a consistent way. He is a very good colorist, too. I feel like Mike is a kid playing with color pencils and is not afraid to use the whole box.
I have been a fan Hollis’ work for a long time and acquired one of his paintings before the pandemic. In this piece the yellow and pink values have a harmonizing effect. They have the same tonal value and contrast the darker values. The simple geometric shapes contrast, balance and parade on the canvas. It has a portal-like effect to me.
There is definitely a spiritual side, too. It feels multidimensional; the paintings are light and clean and come at you from different angles. There is a playfulness, and still an orderly restraint. The best works draw you in and evoke a reassuring feeling – a higher order kind of thing, a pleasant and wise space
to be in.
