René Holm2025
Looking for a dry place to call home
Oil on copper plate mounted on wood panel
35 x 45 cm.
In “Looking for a dry place to call home” (2025), René Holm continues his exploration of shelter, vulnerability, and the human condition. Executed in oil on copper mounted on wood – a new and visceral material choice – the work features a solitary blue tent nestled in a glowing clearing. The copper’s natural oxidation adds texture and life, interacting with the painted surface and amplifying the sense of transience and light. The scene is at once inviting and haunting, reflecting Holm’s symbolic visual language where nature becomes both refuge and threat. This piece is a quiet meditation on survival and the elusive notion of “home.”
