There are artists who decorate walls—and then there are artists who energize a room the moment their work enters it. Mark Hollenstein belongs firmly in the latter category. Known for vibrant abstraction, kinetic color, and a sense of movement that feels both joyful and intentional, Hollenstein has built a body of work that lives up to his own mantra: “Art that makes you feel good—fast!”
On Saturday, February 21, 2026, from 12 PM to 6 PM, art lovers will have a rare opportunity to step directly into the world where that energy is born as Hollenstein opens his studio to the public as part of Modernism Week’s Open Studios—a free event celebrating creativity, accessibility, and community.
Located in the heart of the Perez Art District, Hollenstein’s studio will be buzzing with activity. Visitors can expect exciting new art, a free art gift-a-way, and the chance to experience not only Hollenstein’s work, but the dynamic ecosystem of artists that make the district such a vital cultural hub. Open Studios is about breaking down barriers between artist and audience—and Hollenstein thrives in that environment, welcoming conversation, curiosity, and connection.
What makes Mark Hollenstein’s work resonate is its immediacy. Bold lines, expressive color fields, and layered textures invite viewers in without pretense, offering a visual language that is inclusive rather than intimidating. His paintings don’t demand interpretation—they offer experience. In an era where art can sometimes feel distant or overly conceptual, Hollenstein’s work reminds us that joy, motion, and instinct still matter.
The Open Studios event is also a celebration of place. Nestled within Perez Plaza, visitors are guided easily to the studio—look for the distinctive “H” sign at the driveway, with Hollenstein’s studio the very first on the right side of the alley. It’s a detail that feels fitting: approachable, direct, and thoughtfully designed, much like the artist himself.
Modernism Week has long been synonymous with design excellence and cultural discovery, and Mark Hollenstein’s participation underscores the importance of contemporary artists in that conversation. This is not just an open door—it’s an invitation into a creative philosophy built on generosity, color, and human connection.
Whether you’re a seasoned collector, a casual admirer, or someone simply looking to be uplifted by art, Mark Hollenstein’s Open Studio promises an afternoon of inspiration, warmth, and visual delight—exactly the kind of experience Modernism Week was created to celebrate.
