October 25th - November 24th

Barry Dwayne Hollis

Barry Dwayne Hollis, October 25th - November 24th: Renowned Santa Barbara sculptor and artist, Barry Dwayne Hollis was originally trained with a degree in Photographic Illustration from Brooks Institute of Santa Barbara, and added sculpture to his repertoire in 1996.

Two of Hollis' steel sculptures, Eyes on Me, and Help or Hindrance, are currently on display on the patio at Fox Wine, as a prelude to the exhibition.

"I am attracted to the idea of recognition, empowerment, and reincarnation of what is under appreciated, left behind, common, bent, broken, and simple. I adopt things and put them together to create new life. The abstract sculptures reflect the world around us and remind us that if we are open, anything can be transformed".
