Laurel e l'età dell'innocenza
"Sono per lo più una larga scala di un pittore astratto, ma ho lavorato molto duramente per produrre un diverso tipo di spettacolo che incorpora ritrattistica tradizionale, mentre l'umanizzazione con l'emozione del mio lavoro. Lo scopo è quello di trovare la contrapposizione tra l'innocenza dei nostri giovani e la quiete di una età adulta dove la vita ci ha gettato le curve come la perdita o il dolore e le memorie che vanno con esso "
Laurel presenta così la sua nuova collezione che dal 17 al 21 novembre presso la Menier Gallery di Londra, per la prima volta, espone una serie di ritratti dove raccontano l'innocenza fin dalla sua più giovane età. Di seguito trovate l'articolo tratto dal sito omonimo inglese della menier gallery.co.uk dove in dettaglio viene annunciata l'esposizione della bionda ex thelword.
[...]The Innocents Laurel Holloman Tuesday 17 - Saturday 21 November For her first solo exhibition in London, “The Innocents”, the painter Laurel Holloman takes us on an emotional journey and an exploration of how life changes us, as we age."The Innocents" is a portraiture exhibition of women and children with subjects from 18 months to late 80s. The artist's goal is to photograph, then paint, early childhood and innocence, i.e. life without the heartbreak to the challenges of adulthood, and then contrasts it with more mature portraits. Also the show explores the female nude and the vulnerability of women in their late 30s and 40s.At these ages there is more of a history in the faces and in the body language of the subjects. The show will have certain innocence and also a certain emotional heaviness with more of the middle aged subjects, and then certain lightness with the older subjects. The artist lives and works in Los Angeles (U.S.A.). After an acclaimed debut with her New York studio collection, TriBeCa in 2011, Laurel Holloman has had four international solo shows. Coeur Libre, exhibited in Paris in 2012. This show was followed by Free Falling during the 2012 Venice Architecture Biennale. Her third solo show, All The World Inside, took place in Berlin in Spring 2013.In summer 2013, her painting Swell was picked for the group show, Nell’Acqua Capisco at the Venice Art Biennale and was chosen for the official catalogue. The Fifth Element was held in Paris in July 2014.In October 2014, the artist was invited at the International Contemporary Art Biennale in Buenos Aires (Argentina). The painting The Reach was awarded by the First prize of the Biennale in the paintings category and Laurel won the Banco Ciudad Award for the Best Work in all categories. For her fifth solo show now in London, Laurel states "I am mostly a large-scale abstract painter, but I have been working very hard to produce a different kind of show that incorporates traditional portraiture while humanizing it with the emotion of my work. The purpose is to find the juxtaposition between the innocence of our youth and the stillness of adulthood where life has thrown us curves such as loss or grief and the memories that go with it"

La sposa promessa?
Notizia fresca di ieri, presa dal Washington Daily News, dove suggerisce che ”Laurel Holloman, l'attrice meglio conosciuta per il suo ruolo nella serie televisiva The L Word, si è segretamente sposata”.
Giravano da un pò di tempo dei rumors su questo, grazie soprattutto ad una foto (vedi a lato) dove la stessa sfoggia assieme alla cotanta bellezza, un anello, prova che per qualche fans resta inconfutabile. Per ora, nessuna conferma o smentita da parte dell'interessata sull'argomento, ma girano in rete foto (link in fondo al post) che certificano, aimè, cosa fatta. Chiudo con una una considerazione del tutto personale: non vi pare che oltre alla innegabile chimica tra miss Holloman e la sua partner “per antonomasia“ Beals, abbiano anche dei tremendi gusti maschili? :)

The Fifth Element for Laurel
Sabato 12 luglio a Parigi la Galerie Joseph ha ospitato “The Fifth Element” nuovo appuntamento con Laurel e la sua arte. Di nuovo rossa, vestita nell' oramai classico di ogni apertura, la Holloman ci racconta tramite le opere esposte, del quinto elemento, che a dir di Laurel viene rappresentato dopo aria, acqua, terra e fuoco, "all’interno delle emozioni di ogni pezzo”. Di seguito vi pubblico un interessante estratto dal blog di Giuseppina Biondo, cosmopolita ed appassionata d’arte e cinema, tutto incentrato sulla magica serata di Parigi.
[…7 Rue Froissart, Paris. This is the magic box, the “boîtes à musique”, the precious figurative art music box which preserves until July 20 the artworks of the American painter Laurel Holloman, as a treasure chest that, once opened, reproduces the sound of the artist’s talent.
In a not yet nocturnal Paris where the Tower has not been enlightened yet by the evening lights and the Seine is still lacking tourists who just arrived, on Saturday, July 12, 2014 the Galerie Joseph hosted the personal vernissage “The Fifth Element” beautifully introduced by the winemaker Isabelle Van Rolleghem.
In the European city of Impressionism, of Bizet and Hugo, of macaroons and gargoyles, the protagonist Laurel Holloman, as the undisputed attraction that is collecting visitors from all over the world, revealed her excitement in being a special guest.
The works, arranged in five rooms, are divided according to the elements of nature: water, air, earth, fire. “The mysterious Fifth Element”, as Holloman points out, “is represented within the emotions of each piece”. Could this be the abstract and tangible creativity? The fifth element seems to be the very Creation: first, as a fertile act of the mind, invisible yet existing, like the air; after, as a concrete work subject to other emotions and tangible like the remaining elements..…]
