BACKSLASH

BOOTH B4

Located in the art neighborhood of Haut Marais in Paris, between Arts & Métiers and République, the gallery has built an international and resolutely eclectic program since 2010.
In addition to strongly supporting promising new talents in all the aspects of their careers, Backslash has chosen to offer them a significant space with more than 250 square meters. The gallery alternates solo exhibitions by emerging or recognized artists with innovative curated shows. Backslash regularly participates in fairs in France and abroad, organizes solos in art centers or foundations and publishes monographs with Backslash editions.

Riley Holloway +

Riley Holloway's work begins with the individual. As a keen observer of those around him, he draws inspiration from their personalities, their conversations and their uniqueness. The body of works he created for AKAA, Moments of Charity, focuses on how the artist deals with obstacles in his life. The aphorisms that adorn his portraits allow him to regain confidence or get out of a difficult moment. Riley Holloway was born in 1989 in Los Angeles. He lives and works in Dallas, TX. His work is regularly shown in the United States, but also in Geneva (Switzerland) or at backs\ash in Paris in September 2021, for the first time in France. His works feature in many prestigious collections, such as the Dean Collection, Stanford or Oregon Universities. He will have a solo exhibition at the AKAA fair in November 2022 and within the walls of the gallery in March 2023.
