Des Moines Artist, Brent Holland, has produced two new bodies of work on display at Olson-Larsen Galleries opening Friday, October 7th. 
 
His work embraces innovative techniques of painting and drawing fit for the digital era.  While steeped in traditional drawing and formal abstraction, Holland chooses a new method that oftentimes eschews the brush and pen in favor of innovative tools and techniques.  His unconventional methods nod to forerunners in “Experimental”, Giacometti, Gillespie, Klein, Pollack, de Kooning- artists from last century.  
​
​Of his new body of work, Brent writes,

“I create hi-definition images.  The result is abstract forms that are more organic than geometric, more curvy than linear...”
