Gallery artist Hollis Heichemer is included in the group exhibition The Stolen Orange at the Bond St Gallery in London, United Kingdom. The Stolen Orange brings together a multitude of painters, sculptors, writers, poets. Makers of all stripes responding to Brian Patten’s poem of the same name. It’s long been a favourite of ours: a strange, beautiful insistence on joy — the kind that’s actively achievable through the quietest of actions.  A small defiance.

The This show was co-conspired with Hal Maughan and Anthony de Brissac — two fellow artists and collaborators who, like me, Sarah Shaw, are done with waiting for the right moment. We pulled this together in a time of rupture, with a belief that joy isn’t optional. It’s necessary.
