About the Item
Artist Comments
Inspired by the work of Paul Klee, this painting features a group of figures stripped of realism, replaced by muted, textured colors and intertwined geometric lines and shapes. They are not specific individuals but rather artistic elements awaiting further development. The deliberately visible textured surface of the cool underpainting incorporates the "hand of the artist" into the composition. When displaying the artwork, soft lighting is crucial to enhance color vibrancy and energy while minimizing surface texture.
About the Artist
Artist Robert Hofherr paints fauvist expressions, infusing his work with a strong statement reflected in his bold application of colors and spontaneous brushwork. Robert refrains from depicting a scene in its literal sense and lets the viewer reimagine a piece with their imagination. Following art school, Robert spent decades as an advertising and graphic design professional. "After my children had grown and became independent, I reconnected with painting," shares Robert. Inspired by the French artists Maurice de Vlaminck and André Derain, he now paints in an unused bedroom in his home, often accompanied by the soothing melodies of classical music. When he is not working, Robert enjoys spending time with his family, playing guitar, and exploring the magnificent landscapes of the mid-Atlantic region.
