Roger Holtom

BOOM

Fiumano Clase is delighted to announce Roger Holtom's fourth UK solo exhibition :Boom”, from 13th September – 19th October 2018 at Unit 12, 21 Wren Street, London WC1X 0HF.

 

British artist Roger Holtom’s practice is based on the principle of learning through experimentation. He has spent the last three decades creating arresting abstract paintings using a wide variety of media, often combining unexpected materials such as household paints and bitumen, oil paint and sand, acids and pure pigments. Over time Holtom has learned how to manipulate his chosen combinations, resulting in works that are both rooted in his own knowledge but also imbued with the spirit of improvisation.

 

“My studio is the laboratory in which I do that processing: adding, subtracting, breaking apart and joining together - experimenting over and over again with the ideas that have emerged from my previous play and conducting an ongoing dialogue with the work in progress.”
