Hol Blaber is an emerging oil painter seeking to contribute to as well as challenge the cannon of European history and narrative painting.
Hol uses classical techniques to evoke the grandeur of the baroque style through a contemporary vision. They translate the traditional subjects of heroes, history and myth by virtue of the artist’s position as a mediator and translator. All whilst maintaining the high emotion and drama characteristic of the period they emulate.
They are self taught in their medium, though recently returned from an atelier course at Studio Escelier in Paris, where they dove deeper into the representational art movement, the legacy of the french academy.
They live and work in Northampton, exhibit locally, and in addition to painting they are an accomplished digital illustrator, with publications in medical textbooks and bespoke illustrated wedding books.
