‘I was super horny when I made my early work’: Loie Hollowell’s abstract paintings of breasts and vaginas

Hollowell's artistic journey illustrates a significant shift in how female artists can engage with their bodies and experiences in their work. By embracing themes traditionally seen as taboo or overly personal, she not only reclaims her narrative but also contributes to a broader conversation about the intersection of femininity and abstraction in contemporary art. This evolution reflects changing societal attitudes, allowing for a more inclusive understanding of what constitutes significant artistic expression.
