From the press release:

About 20 years before COVID-19, René Holm was famous for his thickly-layered oil paintings that he has showed at art fairs in New York, Miami, Denmark, Germany, Art Basel, and in museum exhibitions. During COVID-19, René felt a new joy and drive to go into the studio every day and was happy with a new, more transparent, lighter and "dry" painting. They were more like studies for paintings that René makes on mostly found papers. This year, René celebrates 25 years as a professional artist. He has, for two years, worked on a new, large monograph that just came out with the publisher Aftryk in Denmark and DCV that will also be available in the U.S. WM
