The exhibition is organized around his latest book of photographs, Silver. Skate. Seventies, published in 2020.
Many of his works focus on skaters, but they do not stop there. The composition also conveys the realistic atmosphere of the West Coast in the 1970s, with portraits of boys with fleeting expressions and lying on a hill.
Please enjoy the feeling of traveling through the exhibition, where you can feel the warmth of the good old American scenery and wind, and even smell it.

Hugh Holland
Born in the United States in 1942 . . His interest in photography began in his 20s in the mid-60s while living in his hometown in Oklahoma. As a college student, he worked at a developing laboratory, but he had no formal education in photography and taught himself to take pictures. One afternoon in 1975, while driving down Laurel Canyon Boulevard, he came across a skater skating along a ditch on the side of the road. He saw the skater and felt he had found a subject to turn the camera on. Although not a skater himself, he never tired of capturing their beauty and coolness on film. around 1978, the skate scene became more commercial, and he naturally stopped photographing skaters.
His work has appeared in The Wall Street Journal , The New Yorker , npr , and The Los Angeles Times . In 2010, Ammo Books published "Locals Only", which was exhibited at MOCA in Los Angeles in 2011. In 2020, his second book "Silver, Skate, Seventies" was published by Chronicle.
