About Mark Holland


ARTIST STATEMENT


I am an artist who paints what is inside me. Painting is an exploration of what I am thinking in my conscious state and my subconscious dream state.Culture and history of the human race continually fascinate me. I am constantly investigating the past and present in daily life. My work distills and displays the discoveries I find. The subconscious mind also plays a large part in my work. I try to grasp my dreams and contemplate their meanings in my work as well.What I give to the world is an exposure of my inner self: an honest, upfront, no explanation needed revelation.If my work resonates / connects with the viewer then we have communicated with each other in a profound, unspoken, intimate way. A communication in which words are not necessary.I was born in Asmara, Eritrea in East Africa and have lived in many parts of the world. All places have colored my life and work.

Some of these paintings are now in Hendersonville at the new Revolving Arts gallery. I've been painting! There are some new pieces I will post soon, just need to get some photos done. In the mean time, take a look at Ted McIrvine's Art Spectrum Blog. Ted visited RES and 310 ART and wrote a nice piece of his impressions of the studio and advanced class. Thanks Ted!

310 ART Opens!!


It has been a busy winter at the studio. A new gallery space has been created at River's Edge Studio, and it all happened fast and furious. The project involved painting floors and walls, putting up drywall, improving the lighting, adding doors, baseboards, and the final work of our Trompe L'Oeil door which invites art lovers inside. Many thanks to Randall, Isabel, Maureen, Elizabeth, Kathy, Mark, Nick, Mary, Sean and Helaine for pitching in with work and contributions to make this happen quickly! There is still work to do, but the art is up, and the door is almost done (Maureen is a pro at Trompe L'Oeil murals and signs) and we have already had a very well attended Open House, and visitors from Maryland, Kentucky, Atlanta and lots of visitors from WNC. We are looking forward to a fun and busy spring season here in the River Arts District at Riverview Station. You can find the gallery at the north end of the building, behind the painted door. I will post more photos soon. Above is a shot as the work was being installed.

Studio Painters - Diversity of Style


One thing is for sure, the painters working together at River's Edge Studio each have their own vision and style. We encourage one another to fine our individual visions and paint what we want!
