Jim Holyoak’s art practice consists primarily of drawing, writing and ink-painting, artists’ books and room-sized drawing installations. Drawing is Holyoak's way of contemplating the tensions between the real and unreal, human and nonhuman beings, travel and transformation, invisible and speculative worlds. He received a BFA from the University of Victoria, an MFA from Concordia University, and studied under master ink-painter Shen Ling Xiang, in Yangshuo, China. In parallel to his solo practice, Holyoak has orchestrated numerous collaborative drawing projects, often with fellow artist Matt Shane, and sometimes involving hundreds of people drawing together. His work has circulated widely in North America and Europe, including at the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal, La biennale de Québec, Tegnerforbundet (Drawing Association) in Oslo, KM21 in The Hague, the Latvian Centre for Contemporary Art in Rīga, the Carnegie Mellon International Drawing Symposium in Pittsburgh, the Midlands Arts Centre in Birmingham, UK, and the Teckningsmuseet (Museum of Drawings) in Sweden. Holyoak has attended artist residencies in New York, Los Angeles, Mumbai, The Netherlands, Sweden, Iceland, Finland, and throughout Norway. Holyoak presently lives in the town of Nelson, in the Selkirk mountains of British Columbia, on the unceded territory of the sn̓ʕay̓ckstx Sinixt Arrow Lakes peoples, from where he teaches remotely at Emily Carr University of Art + Design.
