Robert Hofherr
Village Study, Original Painting

2024

About the Item

Artist Comments
A small rural village transforms with washes of color and stylized rendering. A subtle hint of structures graces the piece, with selected hues to fulfill the painting's requirements, rather than aiming for realistic expression. The resulting work approaches complete abstraction, with unique shapes. When hanging the artwork, soft lighting is crucial to enhance vibrancy and energy while minimizing the visibility of brushwork.


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.
