‘ROYGBIV’ finds Holloway highlighting what has become perhaps his most recognizable sculptural form. It features a group of new, large-scale head sculptures made from powder-coated and spray painted aluminum, each outfitted with a working lightbulb in place of a nose. The exhibition is at once a celebration of an iconic series of objects and a quizzical, open-minded attempt on the part of their maker to understand their meaning, power, and longevity as features in the contemporary art landscape for two decades. As the show’s title suggests, Holloway has made heads in each of the seven colors of the visible spectrum, which points to their very real, lightbulb-driven luminosity as well as to their immediately recognizable, open-ended symbolism.
