Pub culture continues to be a source of fascination for Sydney-based Holly Greenwood. For the artist, this is a timely subject in a world where human connection has been eroded by the pandemic and where our reliance on technology has exacerbated a sense of isolation from each other. A pub is a space to connect, somewhere you can let your guard down and conversations can reveal innermost thoughts – where even deeply held secrets can waft to the surface, from climate scepticism to long held political views. Solitary souls can find a sense of community and quench their loneliness with a beer.

Since graduating from COFA (now UNSW Art + Design) in 2011, Holly has exhibited extensively within Australia at art fairs and galleries. She was named a finalist in the prestigious Sir John Sulman Prize this year and in 2021 was named a finalist in the Portia Geach Memorial Prize. In 2019 she was awarded the Hill End Residency in addition to a finalist position in the highly competitive Brett Whitely traveling art scholarship in 2018 and 2017.
