About the Item
King’s interpretation of nature’s struggle takes the shape of small-format oil paintings, which depict landscapes merged with vessels that work to destroy or protect the environment above them. The imagery contained within the vessels at times represents a threat symbolizing global climate change, or a solution to it.
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.

- You Float on NothingBy Adam GunnLocated in Montreal, QuebecI made these paintings in response to a prediction for a change in the colour of the sky and oceans as a consequence of man-made climate change.

For many of these extinction events the earth’s chemistry changed the sky to green and the oceans purple.

My personal memories are often tied to colour – my first recollection is of an orange cup being handed to me, and I can vividly remember the very first time I was able to wield colour with a red crayon.

- Torre VelascaLocated in Milano, MIUrbex is the English acronym for urban exploration and is an activity that consists of searching for and locating abandoned infrastructure with the goal of visiting, photographing and conveying its contents, with particular involvement of methodologies from geography, anthropology, sociology to cultural studies. Her works have been in the past approached to the works of Anselm Kiefer (b. 1945) and Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1770), but in Gullotta's paintings the absence of color makes the spaces particularly ethereal, allowing them to be ideally lifted to new places and to new life. An artist of international caliber who has decided to entrust her return to her homeland to Almach Art Gallery in Milan, while maintaining connections with important galleries, such as Marlborough Fine Art in London and Galerie Koch in Hanover. The artwork represents the famous Velasca Tower in Milan. This artwork was exhibited during the Daniela Gullotta...Category
