Happy New Year!
​
​In this wonderful new year, apart from my ongoing home gallery exhibit in Carleton Place, Ontario, I'm happy to announce that I will be featuring some key works at the Artist Project 2018 in Toronto for my next high profile exhibit Feb 22 - 25th at the Better Living Centre, Exhibition Place. 

Being the biggest independent visual artists' show in Canada, you will treated with the best of where top contemporary art is at. Over 250 artists in all!

Personally exciting, this show will highlight 4 abridged series following my distinct "Hollenstyle" which can only be realized in person. If you're a collector, curator, gallerist, designer or art lover, you are welcome to come explore and discover new art and artists. 

This is a unique opportunity to meet and buy art directly at Toronto’s favourite art fair.

​Exhibiting my Fraser River Series paintings on a sunny Saturday, September 24, 2011 for the 8th Annual 'Artists on the River' celebration at the Quay in New Westminster was great fun! 

It is a celebration of the arts to the riverfront in conjunction with the opening of the Discovery Centre's new Heart of the Fraser exhibit in 2011. Featured above is a picture of Anthony Hollenstein engaging with local art lovers and artists on opening night of this two day event held at the Westminster Quay waterfront inside the Discovery Centre.

Local artist Anthony Hollenstein is always on the hunt for new inspiration and a new scene to paint. When he discovered the beach underneath the Skytrain bridge that looks back on New Westminster, he said he had to commit the scene to canvas.

"As a painter, the past has so many romantic connotations " said Hollenstein, a Royal City resident since 2004. " And the Fraser River and New Westminster have so much of that kind of character. It really makes this one of the best places to paint."

Hollenstein's love of the Fraser River produced a 10-painting series, highlighting different aspects of the river, that will be on display during this year's New Westminster Cultural Crawl.

The series, he said, is a melding of impressionist and post-impressionist styles, which makes for a colourful and layered visual experience.

For instance, in the aforementioned painting, called "Under the SkyTrain Bridge", each piece of the landscape comes forward until the closest element - in this case a log- feels as though it is right in your face.

Hollenstein's 10-painting collection on the Fraser River will be on display at the Fraser River Discovery Centre at 788 Quayside Dr. on Aug. 7, 2010, from noon to 4 p.m.
