Description
Togetherness is one of the most recent abstract works from Hodari Olivier. It depicts a group of figures standing together and appearing in a state of motion like whirling dervishes. The style of the work leans heavily into abstract expressionism. The artist appears to use the full spectrum of colors on the palette to compose the painting and anthropomorphize the emotions that one experiences when dancing. The abundance of dripping paint suggests the artist employed the action painting techniques to emphasize the physical act of painting and not relying on a meticulously planned composition.
