Hi everyone,

I hope you are well. On behalf of the team, I would like to warmly invite you to join us this evening (7PM ET / 4PM PT) for Considering Art : Considering Line | Curtis Holder.

Curtis Holder is a British artist known for his graphite and colored pencil drawings. His work focuses on people and the human form and is celebrated for its unique and spontaneous line and color use.

Curtis’s work explores the complexities of human emotion and how we connect with and interpret the feelings of others without the spoken word. He aims to present an individual’s unspoken truth, which he compels the viewer to search for, and in doing so, confront their own bias.

In 2020, Curtis won Sky Arts Portrait Artist of the Year, a national portraiture competition televised in the UK. His winner’s commission of world-renowned ballet dancer Carlos Acosta hangs as part of the permanent collection at the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, UK.

In this tour, we embark on some close looking.

We ask: What do you see?
