About the Item
Thrush Keats Byron Holmes is a Toronto-based painter who explores traditional artistic themes in an unapologetically contemporary, irreverently playful, aggressively energetic way. It is both spontaneous and experimental, spanning imagery from reclining nudes, matisse-like flowers, and poetic landscapes that contrast with
a punk sensibility. Holmes’ paintings are made contemporary by their varied and inventive use of materials (spray paint, neon light, driveway sealant and oil stick), which elevate an aggressive exploration of romance and mythology. Romantic and idealistic, his naive forms (nudes, rainbows, still life florals) reference modernists like
Picasso and Matisse, dissolving studies further into dripping, crude gestures of oil stick and neon light. One glance at his work and you’d assume the artist is as brash and bombastic as his ouevre, and yet Holmes is kind, soft spoken and tenacious. Entirely self-taught outside two weeks in art school - where he quit after being told he couldn’t fasttrack to his final year - Holmes’ process mirrors his ambitions. 20-ft paintings are made in a single sitting, and the initials ‘TH’ are often large enough in the bottom corner of a piece to be considered a compositional element.
His work is found in permanent collections worldwide including the Elton John Aids Foundation, Sony Music, Dreamworks Studio, and Def Jam Records among others.

- Side Track 17Located in New York, NYEarth, air, water, and fire are the center subjects of my art. I live in New York City-it is close to the ocean, and I’ve developed a deep affinity for the sea, which has also evoked sentiments in me for what has across on the other side of the ocean. Majestic mountains in Europe and the U.S. those I’ve seen with spectacular ridgelines or forms are what I want to pay homage to. The sky’s ever-changing atmosphere, fire’s brilliance, and all the energies embodied in nature are the most things that I am in awe of. —- Leigh WenCategory
