Modern Artist: Harold Hollingsworth

For anyone who loves pop art and abstract art, you’ll love Harold Hollingsworth. The artist uses each shape an color to express an emotion, with textured backgrounds and clever shapes- Hollingsworth creates a playful, pop resemblance.

Weaving in ribbons of color, through overlapping circles, Hollingsworth shows that he clearly isn’t afraid to experiment on the canvas, he said, “You have to get into it, risk all, and this takes a certain act of faith. Not a faith in absolutes, not a religious kind of faith. But a faith in possibility, a faith not that we will finally know something, but a faith in not knowing, a faith in our being confounded and dumbfounded, a faith fertile with possible meaning and growth.” I couldn’t agree more. With art, design, architecture- this philosophy applies to so much and in Hollingsworth’s case has led him to create an expansive series of vibrant pieces, each with their own sense of individuality and depth, ranging from complex, bold statements to the more subtle expressions of energy. I think I’ve found a new favorite abstract artist!
