“[The paintings] are meditations in purely painterly terms, whose delicate color harmonies and tactile surfaces are both mysterious and seductive.”

Lynn Woods, from “Energy Fields,” Almanac Weekly, Art and Music, 2020

“Holl is a master colorist– there are no false notes in these paintings. The works have a lyricism to them that one can easily imagine are traces of light flying across their surfaces: they have a feeling of truth.”

Claire Lambe, from “Particle Point Collisions at Lockwood Gallery” Roll Magazine, rollmagazine.com. 2020

“…though there comes a time when transcription is no longer necessary–when it is enough simply to listen, which means, in this universe, to keep on looking.”

Carter Ratcliff, “A panorama Considered as a Conversation (or the Other Way Around)”The Brooklyn Rail, 2012
