Finding A Voice Through Printmaking
a retrospective of print work by internationally renowned artist Curlee Raven Holton

Holton’s work is powerful, tapping into the quiet, subliminal idea of Art as a mighty oracle and artists as sages. Many of Holton’s works ponder flashing visions wrapped up in a single image. Brimming with irony, sadness, and humor, Holton’s titles play narrator to mythological-like action. His compositions are broad and searching; images to lean on, and to lean into. Each grants a great view of all that lies beyond here and often offers answers that bring on more questions. In Finding a Voice Through Printmaking, Holton shares roughly 50 works in a range of print techniques and subjects that date from 1987-2024.

An artist-scholar, Holton is an internationally renowned printmaker and painter whose work has been exhibited professionally for over 30 years in more than 60 one-person shows and over 100 group shows in such prestigious national and international venues as the 7th International Biennale in Cairo, Egypt; Taller de Artes Plasticás Rufino Tamayo in Oaxaca, Mexico; the Cleveland Museum of Art; and the Whitney Museum of American Art. His work is in the permanent collection of many museums including the Cleveland Museum of Art. Allentown Art Museum, Philadelphia Art Museum, National Gallery, Smithsonian Institution, Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art, The Library of Congress, and Yale University Art Gallery.
