Thanks for visiting my web-site. By clicking on Portfolio you will find numerous galleries that display work in various media such as sculpture, painting and printmaking.
Currently writing this in mid-February of 2025, an overview of recent activity would indicate a merging of painting, sculpture and printing into wall reliefs of hybrid form, as a result of experiences gained during a week in Florence, Italy in October, 2024. Wanting more for my paintings, I began to compose multi-paneled images with sculptured and printed elements added, inspired by the Italian Renaissance.
The Book of Umm continues with over 2400 gouache and water-color paintings in the series as of this writing. Please refer to holzman.david on Instagram to follow the Umms. There’s a new one posted every second day. Working the Umms is a daily ritual for me, seven days a week, for the past 13 years.
The woodcuts continue. Since the summer of 2022 the work pattern has evolved into a seasonal process of printing small editions of woodcut novels in the warm months, work that has been developed in woodblock form over the cold months. The first title in this series, “Diary of a Birdman,” was printed in early Fall 22 in an edition of 6. “Faces of Evil,” and “A Man Going Mad in a Room” followed in 2023. “A Slice of Pizza in Kramatorsk,” the title page of which is featured above, was printed in the summer of 2024.
