Lives and works Sydney, Aus

Daniel Hollier is a Sydney/Dharug & Gundungurra - based artist working across painting, drawing and sculpture.

Hollier’s work draws on disparate influences from art history to natural sciences and philosophy. He is particularly attuned to fleeting moments and unnoticed fragments, believing they hold deeper meaning. These observations become starting points for abstraction, transforming the ordinary into something reimagined.

Using irregularly shaped canvases and a variety of painting processes, Hollier blurs the line between what is seen and what is interpreted. His work balances precision with unpredictability, capturing the interconnected nature of things. He invites viewers to tune in to the subtle language of the world, reframing the mundane as something meaningful and mysterious.

Hollier teaches Drawing and Art Processes at the Sydney School of Architecture, Sydney University. His work is held in the Artbank collection as well as private collections in Australia, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands.
