Holly Golightly

2011 - Sculpture (Sculpture)

Jason Meadows

year born: 1972
gender: male
nationality: American
home town: Indianapolis, Indiana

Titled afterTruman Capote’s protagonist famously played by Audrey Hepburn in the film Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961), Holly Golightly (2011) captures the essence of the character: seductive and bold, mysterious and capricious. Though tied to the ceiling by a chain, the suggested figure is literally light on her feet, with a pointed boot hovering just above the gallery floor. Non-parallel lines and inconsistent angles lend the sculpture a sense of airy haphazardness. Though seemingly a jumble, the found pipes and slices of metal never fail to align in formally pleasing arrangements, mimicking the character’s frivolous, seemingly accidental elegance.


The Los Angeles–based artist Jason Meadows uses found and manufactured objects to craft idiosyncratic assemblages. Though smart and studied, his constructions are hardly academic. Rich in character development, narrative, and humor, they suggest a position of critical kinship with comics, cartoons, and Hollywood films.
