About the Work
We’re proud to present our new collaboration with artist Holly Coulis. Lemon Still Life with Vase (2023) is a hand-finished series of 25 that features unique variants created by the artist in her Athens, Georgia studio, using Acryla gouache atop Arches silkscreen paper.
Our new collaboration represents a fresh turn in the artist’s ongoing formal exploration of still lifes, wherein signifiers of the domestic are pared down to their absolute essence. Based on a painting of the same name exhibited in early 2023 at Cooper Cole (Toronto), we worked alongside Coulis to digitally alter elements of the original painting before burning screens, creating novel territory where she could reenter the composition with variegated linework. Lemon Still Life with Vase forgoes strong outlines by employing a dry-brushed technique, creating soft moments of disintegration that mimic the eventual lifecycle of the depicted organic forms.
Exhibiting a complex refinement, Coulis’ body of work readily abandons verisimilitude in favor of a quiet energy and straight-forward reverence that commands our attention into a state of meditative rejuvenation.

Prints are hinged to a conservation quality, acid-free and lignin-free Cellulose matboard, using acid-free polyethylene cloth tape.
