ARTIST HOWARD BOLLINGER INVITES YOU TO STEP INTO A WORLD . . .
where color dances, characters whisper, imagination leads the way.
"Turn the Art”™ invites you to see not only with your eyes, but with your sense of wonder. Each painting in this collection turns on your wall and with each turn, it offers new perspectives. Look again and lean into curiosity to discover movement, mischief, and moments of meaning.
At the heart of this vibrant exhibition is Atlanta Georgia artist Howard Bollinger, whose work embodies the spirit of creative play. A former Senior Vice President at Kenner/Hasbro Toys, Howard helped shape the childhoods of millions through toy lines like Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Care Bears, and Littlest Pet Shop.
It was during the high-intensity creative process of developing Star Wars toys that Howard began sketching otherworldly forms on meeting agendas and napkins—designs that hinted at space exploration, mysterious beings, structures, and vehicles from imagined galaxies.
Spontaneous sketches done in Star Wars toy meetings have burst to life in Bollinger paintings.
When Howard paints today, he often returns to these original drawings, letting memory and intuition guide a new flood of ideas. What once lived in pencil and pen is transformed into richly embellished canvases— tapestries of motion, color, and hidden abstract characters.
His signature forms suggest not only alien structures, but also organic images and visual puzzles that invite playful discovery.
You’re invited to explore interpret and Turn the Art to discover a world that will stir your imagination.
