Silicon Valley Artist Holly Van Hart Exhibits Nationally
Van Hart's work is collected widely around the world, and this is the first time it will be exhibited in an art fair outside of the U.S.
From Holly Van Hart: Today, Silicon Valley artist Holly Van Hart announced that she has been invited to exhibit her acclaimed abstract nature paintings in two solo exhibitions, three group exhibitions, and one international art fair this spring. Van Hart's work is collected widely around the world, and this is the first time it will be exhibited in an art fair outside of the United States.
The common theme throughout these exhibitions is Van Hart's fascination with the limitless opportunities we have in our lives. In her tree and floral paintings, the fullness of nature is used to symbolize abundance and the generation of new life and new ideas.
From March 1 - April 15, the X-Power Gallery in Beverly Hills will feature Van Hart's work in a solo exhibition entitled 'Paradise Found'. The show features 10 new nature paintings. The artist will give a talk at the reception on March 4, 2-5 p.m, and part of the reception proceeds will benefit the Keep A Breast Foundation.

Ongoing group exhibitions at Dean Day Gallery in Houston, TX, Bluestone Fine Art in Philadelphia, PA, and The Studio Shop in Burlingame, CA also include Van Hart's work.
Preston Metcalf, Deputy Director at the Triton Museum of Art, says Van Hart's work is "powerful in its message of human connectivity.” DeWitt Cheng, art critic for ARTnews, has compared the simplified forms in her work to those of Léger and Mondrian. Cheng says “Van Hart’s naturalistic yet symbolic paintings present their enigmatic subjects with both beauty and conviction, memorably."
