Stunning Pour Paintings by Holton Rower [VIDEO]
Head on over to The Hole in New York right now (until May 26) and you’ll be able to experience an amazingly colorful exhibit by Holton Rower. The first New York solo exhibition for the artist, “Pour Paintings” is just that, they’re paintings created by carefully pouring paint over plywood. The result is incredible color combinations that are stunningly psychedelic. Make sure to watch the video at the end of this post to see how this type of beautiful art form takes shape.

“The first progressive step for a mind overwhelmed by the strangeness of things is to realize that this feeling of strangeness is shared with all men and that human reality, in its entirety, suffers from the distance which separates it from the rest of the universe” (Albert Camus)

Sunday Dalí: The Dream Approaches, 1932-33. Oil on canvas, 65.1 x 54.3 cm. Perls Galleries, New York.
As with many of Dalí’s works from this period, The Dream Approaches deals with subconscious feelings of sexual desire, fear, and death. The cloth covered structure in the foreground is believed to be a coffin. The white draping solidifies this speculation. The object in the center is both a piece of bread and a depiction of female genitalia. The nude man on the beach is a nod to Dalí’s classical appreciations; however, the brushwork suggests flames climbing the man’s back.
The tower on the right is a reoccurring image is Dalí’s works. It symbolizes desire and death, which Dalí wrote about and I excerpted a few months ago.
