About the Item

Lookin’ Down The Barrel Of A Gun 2023 Acrylic on canvas 10 x 8 inches Signed and dated on verso by the artist Matthew Hanzman is a self taught painter whose work ranges from bold, whimsical figuration to painterly abstraction. His pieces are notable for their bold colors and subject matter, focusing on the true self, freedom and alternative ways of being. At 27 years old, he has established a distinct, emotive style that resonates, combining the aesthetic of childhood cartoons and video games with more serious themes of isolation and the search for meaning. His work has been exhibited throughout the United States in both solo and group presentations and is held in private and public collections worldwide. Matthew’s DIY spirit of originality and authenticity is reflected in his powerful, precise works. Statement on the work: Welcome to Matthew’s distinct lone figures series. These vivid scenes are pure and surreal like cartoons and each one tells a story of an outcast. We feel the joys and sorrows of solitude, from freedom and bliss to angst and confusion, set in vast, fruit flavored lands. Some of the loners are frustrated and dejected, alienated and lost. Others are funky and groovy carving their own paths but they are all whimsical and expressive, honest portrayals. Animal friends and bizarre motifs add to these far out journeys and each canvas sparks reflections. They are so crisp and graphic they seem digital while remaining raw and each one is an episode in the animated saga.

  • "Ribbon" Extra-Large Contemporary Landscape Painting By American Martin Hoffman
    By Martin Hoffman
    Located in Frederiksberg C, DK
    Introducing "Ribbon," an extraordinary painting from the "Jersey Meadow Series" by Martin Hoffman in the 1970s. From the 1970s onwards, Hoffman's career showcased a masterful combination of beautiful painting techniques and challenging subject matter. This contemporary painting depicts an abandoned landscape with a hypnotic blue plastic ribbon at its center. Hoffman's landscape creates an almost mesmerizing effect, where the subject matter of destruction and decay is presented poetically. The warm shades of grey with hints of blue, brown, and purple create a limited yet powerful palette that enhances the melancholic beauty of the painting. The painting measures 151cm x 202cm / 59.5in x 79.5in and is signed 'Martin Hoffman' on the reverse side of the canvas. It is titled 'Ribbon' and is dated '73.' Additionally, the artist specifies that the painting is part of the 'Jersey Meadow Series.' It is ready to hang and comes with a silver-painted frame. The condition of the painting is great, with hardly any signs of wear. The frame has a few scratches but is otherwise in good condition. Artist Bio: Martin Hoffman was a versatile artist and illustrator, mostly known for his paintings. He was a self-taught painter and a gifted drummer who had worked as an art director for the Miami News, Graphic Arts Inc., and Steiner & Wall Advertising. In 1973, Martin Hoffman landed his first solo exhibition at the OK Harris...
