Credentials

Featured in gallery curations
Works on commission

Gillian Holding, with a Fine Art degree from Leeds Metropolitan University and a background as a solicitor, works primarily in oil paint, embracing the physicality of her medium on both large canvases and intimate panels. Her instinctive, semi-abstract style blends drawing and painting, often depicting fragmented bodies in transition, using brushes and unconventional tools to leave areas unresolved and evoke emotional ambiguity. Through these painterly gestures, she explores themes of liminality and contradiction, ultimately conveying sensations of uncertainty, vulnerability, and the transformative potential found in life’s fissures and fractures.
