Salt Lake City-based painter, Holly Addi sees beauty in the imperfect. Her work is based on life’s imperfections and how it relates back to beauty and the magical phenomenon how it all works together. Addi’s works examine energy, space, and landscape through tempered abstraction.

By applying abstraction, she constructs intense personal moments masterfully created by means of rules and omissions, acceptance and refusal, luring the viewer round and round in circles. Often about her audience’s contact with architecture and basic living elements; energy (heat, light, water), space and landscape are examined in less obvious ways. By not referencing specific recognizable forms, Addi deconstructs in order to shift meaning and create open interpretation for the viewer.

Whether you're an art enthusiast, aspiring artist, or simply curious about the creative process, Holly's insights offer a fresh perspective on finding beauty in the imperfect. Subscribe for more artist features and behind-the-scenes looks at the world of contemporary art.
