Illumination Road by Brent Hollingsead

This play of acrylics on canvas offers an invitation to a realm where dramatic lighting and sacred geometry converge.  Sought to capture the hidden architecture of clouds in two-point perspective, an interplay of light that dances across a rich landscape. A burst of radial light, aims to be the heart of the piece, just above a road that stretches endlessly. Churning with divine chaos, the intention was to have each brushstroke contribute to a sense of cosmic order and beauty, while also revealing some tension and spontaneity.

Message from Brent: "I share a vision that deeply moved me during a family vacation out West on our expansive drive to Yellowstone National Park."

Artist Statement: As an impressionist artist based in Colorado, my work explores heavy textures, layering, abstraction, and spontaneity. My creations are often inspired by dramatic lighting, nature’s serene and wrathful moods, and its interplay with the human experience. Geometric mysteries are collaged underneath rich layers of painterly strokes and splatters, where experimentation and rhythmic patterns emerge. My process is a dance between intention and chaos; a meditation and journey that explores what it is to be human. Through my art, I hope to reveal the connective force that underlies all things, inspiring others to find presence in nature and their own experience within the movement and flow of creativity.
