Holly Yoshida

Holly Yoshida (b.1992) is a painter based in Boorloo/ Perth.

The empty room is a recurring motif in Yoshida’s work, the absences and neutrality invite a speculative and voyeuristic gaze, in which we might construct or impose narrative. Through an engagement with the process of painting, she aims to depict the private and invisible by de-familiarising the everyday.

Yoshida graduated from Edith Cowan University with a Bachelor of Contemporary Art in 2014 and is represented by Moore Contemporary. Her work is held in private and public collections including The Art Gallery of Western Australia, Wesfarmers and Artbank.
