Lonnie Holley (b. 1950, Birmingham, AL)
Intuit is pleased to host its first artist in residence, Lonnie Holley, over a two week period as he creates a site-specific sculpture/environment/assemblage in Intuit's Main Gallery using found and recycled materials, architectural salvage, and the detritus of human activity. The sculpture will evolve over Holley’s two week residency. Intuit has invited students of all ages, artists, and the general public to interact with Holley while he is creating. Hailing from Birmingham, Alabama, Lonnie Holley became an artist in order to enact change in this world. Holley has stated, “Through my works I will try to leave enough information that children can still come onto this earth 50,000 years from now and learn how to take care of it.”

The artist’s unique vision will undoubtedly transform Intuit’s gallery into a breathtaking experience.

Intuit: The Center for Intuitive and Outsider Art promotes public awareness, understanding, and appreciation of intuitive and outsider art through education, exhibition, collecting and publishing. Intuit defines ‘intuitive and outsider art’ as the work of artists who demonstrate little influence from the mainstream art world, and who instead are motivated by their unique personal vision. This definition includes art brut, non-traditional folk art, self-taught art, and visionary art.
