His work was exhibited at the Foyles Art Gallery 1961, the Royal Society of British Artists’ Young Contemporaries Exhibition of 1962 and the Ulster Museum 1964, and AIA Gallery in London from 1966 to 1984.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eHolmes passed away in 2010 at the age of 70.
