From the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: “Holston's subjects are African-Americans, often engaged in the activities of daily life. While his figures are simplified and abstracted, they're imbued with dignity, and their societal identities are recognizable, from business-suited commuter to homemaker.
Underlying their narrative roles, at times competitive with them, is the paint, pulsing at the edge of line's restraint, frequently tactile, just short of becoming an entity of its own. One could cite the influence of the Fauves, Romare Bearden and Jacob Lawrence, who was a mentor — but in the end, Holston's handling of color and composition is consistently and uniquely his own.” ~ by Mary Thomas, “Vivid, subtle works show strong emotion in SAMA exhibits,” The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, May 31, 2006.
