Proper nowadays artists - day 205: Hollis Dunlap (USA)
Hollis Dunlap (1977, USA)
Dunlap was one of the artists I admired during my training in Mölndal and aspired towards.
You always hear the criticism of proper art as being “tight” and the need to be “loose” and that this is somehow a good thing in and of itself. The problem is “loose” only works when you can use it with correct colour and drawing. All the “looseness” in the world can’t make up for having no comprehension of how design and light works in nature. Enter Dunlap as the exemplar of this point.
