About the Item

King creates large format photographic landscapes in her studio with sculptural props and painted backdrops. She is interested in the tension between artifice and constructed realities. The imposing scale of the works allows the viewer to project himself or herself into the invented landscapes, which hover in the balance between the memory of real places, and nostalgia for an imagined landscape. Holly King was born in Montreal and has a BFA from Laval and an MFA in visual art from York University. She currently teaches at Concordia University. Her photographs have been shown in Canada and internationally, notably at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, the Kaoshiung Museum of Fine Art in Taiwan, and the Museum of contemporary art in Mexico. The Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography organized a traveling show of her works, Landscapes of the Imagination, which was on tour from 1998 to 2002. Her works can be found in many prestigious collections, including those of the Montreal Museum of Contemporary Art, the Musée national de beaux-arts du Québec, the Leonard and Bina Ellen Gallery in Montreal, the Canadian Museum of Contemporary Art in Toronto, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Ottawa, and the Canada Council Arts Bank.
