The Omen
This portrait painting echoes the contemplative mood of the artist's other works, offering the viewer a gentle nighttime encounter. Anholt's paintings employ discerning palettes and kaleidoscopic styling to intertwine allusion, allegory and fragmented storytelling. The artist's work is versed in the geometric and figurative vocabularies of the Frankfurt school and other painting movements. Anholt's compositions often center the experience of being an artist, while exploring memory, identity, solitude, and the delicate, unspoken moments of being through a poetic lens.
