About this artwork
Sometimes when I begin drawing figures in motion, the body stretches beyond its own limits. I paint from imagination and my imagination can stretch but also dissolve at the outer limits. What emerged here was a suspended moment of both vulnerability and strength, submission and force. The brushwork is deliberately loose so that colour and movement are blurred together. For me, the pose in ambiguous space is as much psychological as physical. It is… about risk and exhilaration and reaching into the unknown from a half concealed somewhat disturbing pose.
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.
