About the Item
Elongated and reflected, Jo Holdsworth’s figures are used as recurring motifs in order to explore the human condition and significant themes such as hope, trust and loyalty. ‘Totality’ is one of a series of paintings where Jo has moved towards a powerful abstracted form of expression, while each of the works is propelled by the artist’s desire to evoke strong feelings of unity and togetherness for the viewer.
Jo held a solo show in Chelsea, London in 2021 and was one of 30 best selling international artists for the Affordable Art Fair’s summer exhibition and featured in their blog called ‘Five Artists You Need to Know’. We are delighted to work with Jo here at Artfully Sorted gallery and to place her unique and uplifting works in our client’s homes.

Jo Holdsworth
Jo Holdsworth is a leading London-based Award Winning Contemporary artist. Known for her elongated and reflected figures often in blue and grey tones, Jo’s work has been on book, album and magazine covers and is enjoyed by collectors throughout the world.
Often embracing themes such as hope and loyalty, Jo’s life-affirming paintings attract a strong following. Her striking and unique paintings have bold, cinematic appeal as well as being admired for their distinct colour palette and loose, spontaneous brush work. Jo’s artistic influences are far ranging. They include the American realist painters of the early twentieth century, in particular George Bellows known for his striking depictions of New York urban life, and the atmospheric paintings of Edward Hopper. Jo also cites LS Lowry as an important inspiration. Other influences include early Twentieth-Century photography and Jo refers to seeing Paul Strand’s photograph, Wall Street, 1915, as a pivotal moment, confirming to her the role of artist as onlooker.
Represented by several London galleries and exhibiting widely, including in highly acclaimed solo and group shows, Jo accolades are extensive. She was awarded Royal Arts Prize Visitor’s Choice Award Winner and her joint Award Winners’ Show took place at the Royal Opera Arcade Gallery, Pall Mall, London in March 2020. Jo was one of 30 best selling international artists for the Affordable Art Fair’s summer exhibition in 2021 and featured in their blog called ‘Five Artists You Need to Know’. Her highly successful Solo Show at 60 Threadneedle Street in the City of London in January 2024 was met with glowing reviews and featured in the Sunday Times, Evening Standard, City AM, Arts and Collections and FAD magazines.
“It’s the mixture of calm beauty and ambiguity throughout all of Jo Holdsworth’s paintings that mesmerises the viewer." London art critic Tabish Khan

In the middle of the road

Located in Houston, TX
Dana Frankfort
In the middle of the road, 2017
oil on canvas over panel
48 x 48 x 1.75 inches
For over two decades, Dana Frankfort has explored the vexing periphery between language and sight by painting words. Rather than laying claim to the paintings, controlling their semiotic pulse, her words serve as the formal armature; they prop up, ventilate, and allow the many layers of paint to breathe. Imperatives, allusions, evocations—the words dissolve into a palimpsest of obscured serifs and stems, into color and form.
The title of the work is a phrase from a poem by Carlos Drummond de
Andrade’s “In the Middle of Road.” Here it is, translated from the Portuguese by Elizabeth Bishop...
