Holly Ekwejunor-Etchie

Holly is a Chicago-based artist whose work explores the dynamics of identity, including race, masculinity, femininity and the portrayal of these qualities in popular media. She works with oil paint, acrylic, charcoal and graphite. Much of her work attempts to transform figures from popular media to rich characters via surreal distortion and warm, vibrant colors. 

Holly studied painting at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
