Loie Hollowell
Red Earth (detail), 2021, published by Migrate Art
Known for paintings and drawings that explore the bodily landscape, Loie Hollowell’s practice exists in the liminal space between abstraction and figuration, otherworldly and corporeal. Originating in autobiography, Hollowell's paintings explore themes of sexuality, often through abstractions of the human body and an emphasis on female forms. With strong colors, varied texture, and the symmetry of sacred geometry, her works evoke bodily landscapes and allude to iconography such as the almond-shaped mandorlas found in medieval religious painting.
Atelier JI was proud to produce the ‘Red Earth’ 9-layered screen printed edition for Migrate Art and Loie Hollowell in 2021 as part of the Scorched Earth project to raise funds for RefuAid, Refugee Community Kitchen, and The Lotus Flower, all of whom help refugees across the world.

In the Studio
In 2020, Loie Hollowell donated a painting titled ‘Red Earth’ to Migrate Art’s ‘Scorched Earth’ Charity Auction. Migrate Art presented a collection of new works created in direct response to the widespread burning of crop fields in Iraqi Kurdistan.
Following on from the success of the ‘Scorched Earth’ auction, Migrate Art began creating limited edition prints to further support this humanitarian and ecological disaster. Atelier JI created several editions, including ‘Red Earth’ for Migrate Art and Loie Hollowell.
