Holly Addi
American, 1973
Holly Addi (b. 1973, Salt Lake City, Utah, United States) is a painter and mixed-media artist whose work challenges conventional perceptions and cultural narratives. Drawing from daily, recognizable elements, Addi creates compositions that prompt viewers to confront their own biases and reconsider the conditioning of their perception. Her art is an invitation to renegotiate the concepts of inclusion and omission, acceptance and refusal, as she explores energy, space, and landscape through a lens of tempered abstraction.
Addi’s work features color-blocked neutrals with strategic pops of vibrant color, guiding the viewer’s eye across the canvas through meandering linework. Her pieces are dynamic and evocative, reflecting her deep engagement with formal paint language and the subtle environments they intimate. Addi's approach is inspired by a personal, empowering philosophy—particularly her exploration of feminism as both a soft and bold statement. She reflects on how women have come to recognize their own power and potential, and aims to inspire others, especially as a mother raising three daughters. Through her vibrant use of color on canvas, Addi sees her art as a gift—a way to share beauty, create connections, and bring about positive change.
Holly Addi’s work will be featured in exhibitions with Gallery 133, Addison Gallery, and Greg Irby Gallery in 2024. Her art continues to resonate with audiences, offering a fresh perspective on the landscapes of identity, experience, and empowerment.
