New York solo debut September 8th in a new exhibition titled 'What We Talking About' @marianneboeskygallery⁠ ⁠ Entirely self-taught, Holmes has developed into a promising artist for his intimate compositions that recount his experiences growing up in the Deep South- This capacity to simultaneously draw in and unsettle is exemplary of Holmes’s work. Scenes of warm, quotidian social interactions –– a game of dice, a gathering at a kitchen table –– also include figures of violent surveillance, from the allusive presence of unnamed white men, to outright confrontations with police. The theme throughout is resilience and vibrancy, a particular vision into a culture that evolves and endures. Photo: courtesy of the artist and Marianne Boesky Gallery. #jholmes214
