Tom
Holmes’s New work combines aesthetic modes that seem mismatched at first,
blending the corporate brashness of commercial design, the subconscious
expression of automatic drawing, the pared-down forms of Minimalism and the
silvered surfaces of Warholian Pop Art. In the two large canvases from which
Holmes’s third show at Bureau derives its familiar title (“L’Eggo My Eggo®”)
waffle boxes look as though they were attacked by a finger-painting infant in
the throes of a sugar high, while in the three accompanying sculptures, house
bricks and folding chairs get glamorous, reflective veneers.
The arist,
who lives and works in Tennessee, collaborated with a hypnotist to achieve the
seemingly uninhibited scrawls of paint and ink that partially cover his
canvases, evoking comparable exercises by artists from Robert Rauschenberg and
Kelley Walker to fellow automatist Matt Mullican.
