About the Item
About the artist :
Siri Hollander’s entire process started from an innate desire to work in large format but being self-taught she had to create her own system through trial and error in order to make strong, permanent pieces in a medium that would work well outdoors. She discovered that welding together a steel armature, and then adding a mixture of cement and sand she could collect in nearby riverbeds created something strong that could endure any weather. This mixture of earthy textures is also what gives Siri Hollander’s work it’s unique character and textures. Between their unique textures and the exaggerated features of each of her work is inherently abstract, however somehow this abstract feeling helps Siri’s work to take on a life-like feeling. Siri says that “It is my familiarity with the subject (horses) that make it so I can easily bring my pieces to life and have them capture the essence of the living thing. I’ve spent many years being around horses constantly. At this point, they are more like my family than anything else.” Her use of rough textures may have been influenced by her earliest encounter with art, when Siri and her family found some ancient cave paintings in the South of Spain. The stone wall with its uneven textures and earthy pigments certainly influenced Siri at a young age. To this day Siri uses the same pigments in her original pieces (iron oxide and manganese) as those ancient cave-dwellers did in their work. These prehistoric cave paintings along with the ancient Greek and Roman masters inspire Siri Hollander every day to create art, and furthermore art that will persist throughout the passing of time.

Siri Hollander
Siri Hollander, born in New York, lived most of her childhood in Andalusia, Spain, where the local community revolved around fairs and fiestas. Influenced by a family of artists and the pastoral atmosphere of Spain, she began sculpting at the age of 17. Hollander established a connection with the horses and other animals that surrounded her in her youth, and by apprenticing with several accomplished sculptors both in the United States and in Spain, she developed her sculptural form based on her unique subjects: horses and figurative forms. Hollander’s sculptural medium combines steel and cement creating her distinctive texture which brings her sculptures to life. Her horses evoke childhood days spent looking for ancient coins and spelunking in prehistoric caves, as well as exploring the ranching community in which she grew up. Hollander abstracts these forms, making her sculptures appear in motion, while also incorporating fine detail through spontaneity. The playful and graceful strength, Hollander’s work exudes can be seen in every size, from her tabletop works to her monumental sculptures. Hollander's work has been collected throughout the United States and Spain and can be seen in the International Airport in Malaga, Spain.
