“Mid-morning, and Anthony Holdsworth is stalking the light. It’s tougher than you’d think. Sunlight dances differently each day, feinting and jabbing from various angles, hiding behind overcast skies, forcing him to reposition his canvas a centimeter to the right on the sidewalk in order to duplicate the previous day’s shadows.”
-Chiori Santiago, The Museum of California, 2002.
“Holdsworth captures accurately the hammering intensity of afternoon sunlight in a painting such as “A Road To Nowhere” whose illusionism is so convincing, it almost makes you feel like checking the floor to see if any light spills over the bottom edge of the canvas.”
-Kenneth Baker, San Francisco Chronicle, 1987
