Gary Holme’s Fine Lookin’Art Gallery is kickin’ ass & takin’ names.

We’re not kidding. Gary Holme is making some mad, multi-media, jazzy visual art and stuff. But why would we be surprised? He’s been doing just that for over 50 years.

From new Limited Edition prints, stark and bold pen & ink gesture drawings, transgressed advertising executions (where the artist satirizes his own laminated advertising portfolio), to editorial cartoons, illustrations and whatever-the-heck-else he feels like doing. We can’t slow him down. But he does hope you’ll like it all, as well as some of the stories and the why of it.

Also showcased on this site is rare original art created over the last six decades by the artist. Drawings, sketches and oils going back to the 1970’s.

That’s the kicking ass part. And as for taking names?

Well, that’s obviously a contemporary idea. Gary Holme wants to share cool content to your email inbox. Things like early art drops, live-art event invites, pro-bono pop-ups, limited edition secret location exhibits, and dope, curated drip. If you’re in the mood to explore now, or like what you see anywhere on here, hit the shop button or if want to talk more about it or even make an appointment to see something, shoot us an email at polygorgeous. Thanks for stopping by!

"to create, i like to be pushing up against something. i need a force in opposition to me that is heavy and inert, a thing that needs energy and commitment and intention from me to move it.”

Gary Holme’s Fine Lookin’ Art Gallery

“In 2016, I created eight paintings for a group show in Beijing, China. The young gallery owners were enthusiastic about the sketches I sent, and everything was approved. Then I changed my mind, flipped the script and painted some wild political pieces instead. Understandably, they were pissed. But those bold gallery owners hung ‘em anyway, the controversial ones, not the ones below.

Now, I want to share these Chinese Sea Monsters with you as beautiful, Limited Edition signed and embossed prints. Check them out below, and go to the print section to purchase one.

PS An update on the political ones: they’re still being held by Chinese authorities. More on that later.”
