Artist Bio:

, a photographer known for his abstract revelations, unveils his latest exhibition showcasing the captivating beauty of a rather unique structure, an old furniture warehouse. The collection will transport visitors into a world where years of weather and myriad layers of haphazardly applied paint transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary.

"The layers of paint-over-paint textures reminded me of the multi-colored modeling clay I played with as a child," said Holmes. "Some sections even resembled Rothko paintings or microscopic images at the cellular level."
