Holton Rower
Holton Rower was born in Greenwich Village, New York City, 1962. He attended The Putney School, and currently lives in Brooklyn Heights. He is an active artist in New York (of course, New York. It's always New York...) and his studio located in Lower Manhattan. Rower has done a number of exciting projects, paintings, and sculptures. His sculpture follows a more simple style, with a focus on economy and emphasis on line and pattern. For example, he has many sculptural pieces focusing on locks, while another series is about books pasted together in interesting and simple shapes. His "pour" paintings, however, I would consider the crown jewel of his career. I discovered this video while searching diligently for new artists to explore and learn from:
Without getting overly excited, is that not the COOLEST thing ever!? I am not sure how Rower came up with this idea for a project but I love everything about it. I love how the colors move, I love how each person is allowed to become a part of the process, and I love the end result. Here are a few more examples of tall paintings by Holton Rower.
