Eric Holland's new paintings on display at the Rinckel Mansion
In and Around the Great Basin: Recent Plein Air Paintings from Erik Holland will be open to public viewing at the Rinckel Mansion throughout July.
The show opens with a reception to meet the artist Friday, July 7 (1–6 pm) and Saturday, July 8, (9 am - 6 pm). The show will hang through the end of July and be open to the public during business hours. This also affords an opportunity to see the beautifully restored Rinckel Mansion, one of Carson City's grand historic buildings.
The show will be hosted at the Rinckel Mansion at 102 N. Curry Street, the Nevada Press Association where he had a successful show in February. Holland has painted a series of miniatures especially for this show. “It’s taken me a lifetime to realize that size doesn’t matter," Holland said, referring to his 'minis', ”it’s the artwork that matters”. The show also contains more pen and ink and watercolors, both mediums that Holland loves but hasn’t exhibited until now.
Erik Holland is a highly respected artist who travels much of Nevada for his work. This show consists of mostly new work from all directions of the Great Basin. “I paint Nevada and beyond because I love the wide open spaces of the West. When the sky is at its finest, or the warm afternoon sun gilds the sagebrush hills with light, I am very happy.”
Robin Cobbey, who is helping to organize the show for Art Show Today, emphasized: “This is an opportunity for people to see the art and meet Erik. The work in this show is perhaps more varied than previous shows. I am especially pleased with the miniatures Erik has painted for this one.”
Holland studied art at the Art Students League of New York, the Chicago Academy of Fine Art, and the Academy of Art College in San Francisco. He lives and works in his loft in the old Riverside Hotel in downtown Reno. He has taught workshops at St. Mary’s Art Center in Virginia City over the past eight years, with successful shows at the Nevada Historical Society, and at galleries in Oregon and California. He is represented by Ryrie’s and Me and La Terre Verte in Reno and Carson City Art Gallery in Carson City and Duncan Little Creek in Elko.
