Studio Zeuxis ~ LA Hollins

~ abstract expression ~

My work is spontaneous, abstract, lushly textured and untrained. Pieces expose extreme color, expressive movement, raw contrast, emotional energy and instinctive line. I am a paint addict & bend heavily towards Fauvist temperament. The Fauves purest passion for color and joy of creating inspires me to push my work beyond itself again and again. Each progression is a new adventure, forbidden, a mystery; an opportunity for growth, freedom, challenge, beauty and experience. Inspired by the Expressionists, simple and complex perspectives emerge and fall through destruction and reiteration. Vulnerability and strength born within each canvas, as in life.

~ Zeuxis ~

Around 5th century BC, the story was originally told by Cicero and Pliny the Elder; of the ancient Greek painter Zeuxis, who in an attempt to portray the perfect beauty of Helen of Troy invited the most beautiful women in the city of Croton to model for him. From these he selected five, taking from each their best physical features to make a composite ideal.
