Welcome to the portfolio of Paul Holda, take a look around and let me know what you think.
Born in South Yorkshire and now living and working in France, Paris. His education began at Bretton Hall College before moving onto studying an MA at Huddersfield University.
His studies into textile design meant he could explore with vigour the tangible tactile qualities using unconventional materials gave his. Layering plaster with thick undiluted oil paint gave rich, painterly textures with a sense of fragility and evocativeness.
More recently the use of a raw, organic colour palette, depicting elements of movement is the artist's up most intention. His work celebrates the simplest of forms and delivers them into a contemporary age that conveys honesty and emotion. The relationship between his ability to manoeuvre paint and express fluidity and energy, is clever yet unintentional.
There's an apparent flexibility in his creativity which is explorative and challenges the scale of how each form is depicted.
