Artist Statement
“The locker room is a sacred space for the athlete. It is a place of mental and physical preparation. In my locker room paintings, I create figures in states of pre and post competition, in states of preparation and reflection. Cut out, removed from their backgrounds, the figures inhabit the psychological space of the locker room, and we gaze in on their activity. I liken this to what I see daily in my online social media feeds. I am interested in the exhibition of intimate behavior, and bring my experiences as an athlete to reflect on the moments we choose to share with the friends and strangers in our lives.” – Holly Grimsrud
