Yellow Brain, 2022

Artspace is proud to announce a new limited edition embossed silkscreen print by contemporary painter Loie Hollowell, entitled Yellow Brain. Featured in Phaidon’s landmark contemporary art survey Prime, Hollowell is regarded as one of the most influential and fast-rising painters working today.

Hollowell tirelessly questions definitions of beauty, sensuality, pleasure, and pain through highly abstracted and yet deeply personal representations of the bodily landscape. Known for extraordinary dimensionality, high contrast, and vivid color, Hollowell’s visual vocabulary was deeply influenced by the Light and Space movement artists of her native California, as well as the American Transcendental Painting Group founded in the late 1930s.

Yellow Brain references a 2021 drawing of the same name and includes the artist’s marginalia noted on the drawing in preparation for a subsequent painting - giving deeply intimate insights into Hollowell’s conceptual practice. An embossed violet gradient that anchors the print’s image echoes the elevation of the three-dimensional rectilinear form that protrudes from the final painting.

Proceeds from the sale of Yellow Brain will be donated to the Malaria Consortium, one of the world’s leading non-profit organizations specializing in the prevention, control, and treatment of malaria and other communicable diseases among vulnerable populations.

Loie Hollowell (b. 1983, Woodland, California) has been celebrated by critics in publications including The New York Times, Artforum, Vogue, Juxtapoz, and The Brooklyn Rail, among others. Her work is represented in the collections of world-renowned museums including the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C.; Los Angeles County Museum of Art, CA; Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Bentonville, AR; and Centre Pompidou, Paris. Hollowell lives and works in New York City, and is represented by PACE Gallery.

All our frames are manufactured in the USA, using eco-friendly and sustainably sourced engineered hardwood for durability and a uniform finish that is free of defects. Frames are available in Black or White Satin and Honey Pecan.

All prints are hinged to a conservation quality, acid-free and lignin-free Alpha Cellulose matboard, using an acid-free linen tape. The mat's surface paper is fade and bleed resistant and is attached to a conservation quality foam-core mounting board that will keep the work safe from deterioration over time. Artworks with a deckled or decorative edges will be floated on the matboard, with acrylic spacers to separate the art from the glazing. All mounting is fully reversible, without any potential damage to the art.

All of our frames come with picture quality .090 mm plexiglass, which blocks 66% of UV to prevent color fading from exposure to light, keeping your art protected for years to come. It is now considered the industry standard for artists, museums and galleries throughout the world.
