Grids, an Experiment
An exploration in contours and grids.
Phoebe Hoban: "[John Hovig's] images … range from elegant and lacy to more solid and dynamic, but all share the same ephemeral—almost numinous—quality—as if rather than generated by a computer, they were generated by the cosmos." From her Catalog Essay for my group show entitled Visual Language and Catharsis, April 2023
Joseph Staley IV: "John Hovig's abstract work, with all its linear fluidity, takes on the quality of organic, biomorphic forms floating in an undefined space. Notice how the line undulates and twists round and round, how following its pattern mediates a meditative act of vision." - From his essay for my solo show, "From X to Y and Back Again", June 2020
