Olllie Holman started at a very early age creating horse sculptures from horse shoes. He was only 14 when he started his first full size rearing Stallion which when finished was bought by the Cheltenham Racecourse. He has since branched out to include minimalist Steel Bar Animal sketches inspired by Picasso`s Bull to great effect. He is a natural sculptor and won a Design award at an early age.
I constantly seek to push myself and my art to new possibilities, whilst never settling for a particular style, instead, my differing themes help to challenge and inspire one another. I have a strong core passion for creating, to the point where I see no other options, then earning a wealthy healthy career making beautiful inspiring artwork for the world to enjoy and share.

Ollie Holman is a UK artist based in Yorkshire, where he sells original Artwork and takes on commissions throughout the country. From an early age, he has been making sculptures, and before then he was obsessed with capturing the 3-dimensional form.
Ollie Holman makes sculptures and designer pieces, that mainly specialize in steel fabrication as the strong, almost limitless fluid abilities appeal to him and his Ideas. The subject matter varies from large scale horses to linear animals and figurative wall pieces. The proportions of work also reach differing sizes, from smaller mantle pieces to his largest piece to date. A 12ft rearing Stallion made out of horseshoes which now proudly stands at the prestigious horse racing grounds of Cheltenham Racecourse and is currently making a second rearing horse.
Ollie Holman is inspired by nature, and capturing the essence of animals in form.
