Fiumano Fine art are delighted to be exhibiting a new group of paintings by the London based abstract painter Roger Holtom.
Roger Holtom is a painter whose practice depends on the body and interaction with space and the materials with which he is working. His expansive abstract paintings capture both the vitality of life and the suspension of time experienced when viewing paintings. Holtom's works in a wide variety of media, experimenting with both conventional oil paints and glazes alongside ‘non art’ materials such as wood stains, industrial paint and solvents. The results are often unexpected but always fascinating to the eye.
Holtom strives to locate the viewer within the painting, we are not merely observers. Richly textured and tactile surfaces invite us to touch. Unlike conventional paintings Holtom’s work do not seek reverence the seek enjoyment. The physicality and sensual nature of his paintings make him one of the most highly collected artists in the Fiumano Fine Art collection.
