About the Item
This work is a complex composition of 3 koi fish swimming, virtually an underwater landscape filled with light and brilliant color painted in a lush and fluid style bordering on abstraction. Fish are in shades of red, yellow and creamy white. The water is a rich combination of blues, dark greens, and aqua. An extraordinary colorist with an exuberant and gestural style, these paintings sparkle, and Holt's expressive style is ideally suited to the flickering light, color and movement one associates with koi and tropical underwater views.
Additional works in the series are available in several sizes: 12 x 12 inches, 24 x 24 inches. and 30 x 40 inches. This painting is self-framed with light wood sides which can be left as is, painted over, or re-framed.
Linda Holt has been painting koi fish underwater since the 1990s and more recently small and large-scale abstractions as well. With her love of paint and process, the abstractions are a logical evolution of Holt's more figurative work, and the 8" x 8" and 30" x 30" abstract paintings are sold individually but are also considered studies for larger abstractions that can be commissioned in any size. Nationally recognized for many years as one of the foremost painters of koi, Holt's style evolved to the point where pure paint and gesture assumed equal interest, and this parallel involvement with abstraction has resulted in numerous exhibitions which feature both aspects of her work.
