Evan Holloway pursues the labyrinthine paths of sculpture’s long history, producing works that reflect an altogether contemporary state of mind while drawing liberally from modernist, ancient, esoteric, and popular lineages. In Cobbler, he presents new works that incorporate sculptures of dresses and shoes he has made himself, as well as elements that slyly appropriate the mechanics of retail display. As a whole, the show wears the garb of a store as a kind of formal drag, one in which fashion and commercialism are spiked with mind-expanding doses of color, geometry, and material experimentation. Holloway draws paradoxical inspiration from the increasingly common cross-pollination between art and fashion, looking for cues not only from the world of haute couture, but from the ways in which designers borrow—and take—from artists.
