Acclaimed by his peers early in his career, American painter Riley Holloway studied portraiture in Florence, Italy. From his contact with the Old Masters, he learned the art of depicting the postures as well as the character traits of his models, often friends or close family.
Considered one of the most promising artists of his generation, notably by the French press, Holloway's works are regularly shown worldwide. They can be found in prestigious collections, including the Dean Collection, the Dallas Museum of Art and the Collection of the city of Paris. (Fonds d’Art Contemporain - Paris Collections)

Adoubé par ses pairs dès le début de sa carrière, le peintre américain Riley Holloway a étudié l’art du portrait à Florence en Italie. De son contact avec les maîtres anciens, il a retenu l’art de représenter les postures mais également les traits de caractères de ses modèles, souvent des amis ou de la famille proche.
Considéré comme l'un des artistes les plus prometteurs de sa génération, notamment par la presse française, les oeuvres de Holloway sont régulièrement montrées dans le monde entier. Elles sont présentes dans de prestigieuses collections, notamment la Dean Collection, le Dallas Museum of Art ou encore le Fonds d’Art Contemporain - Paris Collections.
