2-TIMES  Art
Christian Holstad,
New Positions
@ Andrew Kreps
Gallery 
— 

...United not in
material, but in
approach – he
employs traditional
techniques and
meticulous craft to
unexpected, and
transformative
ends.
 

Title meaning: 
Holstad's works
in ‘New Positions’ 
function not as
self-portraits, but
as an intuitive
meditation on
the male figure — 
collectively recasting
it as a vessel, able
to receive & change. 

The exhibition:
 
Is the American
artist's 2nd solo
with Andrew Kreps
Gallery
, for which
he presents several 
unique but connected
bodies of work —
including a series
of life-size ceramic
figures, new pastel
drawings and a
large-scale collage,
which are furthered
by the presence of
healing herbs and
flowers, contained
in a grouping of
phallic vases.
