Biographical

V Holecek is an American visual artist, making paintings, drawings, and sculpture. Media includes acrylic paints, charcoal, colored pencil, and polymer, stone, and paper clay.

His subject matter is a blend of several elements. Among these elements are the “dream state” explorations in the Surrealist tradition, capturing and refining those vague images that linger in the mental periphery in that space between dreaming and waking. These visuals include a lot of what could be called a Cold War stylistic sensibility, frequently bringing a mechanical aspect to the composition. This aspect is frequently informed by his time serving in the United States Air Force, where he worked mainly on Cold War Era systems and technology. Both of these are anchored together by an aesthetic interest in the occult. Arcane characters and symbols make frequent appearances, both actual and fictional.
