This painting follows the Fauvist style of using vibrant colors, expressive brushstrokes, and simplified drawings to depict the subject. The foreground captures the interior of a ship leading toward a bridge on the horizon. The treatment of the elements adds to the artwork's expressionist charm and graphic quality.
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...

Artist Robert Hofherr presents an abstract rock formation in a majestic autumn forest. "Seasonal hues are augmented by the addition of purple, violet, and eggplant," states Robert. He pares down unnecessary detail to maintain the visual energy of the piece. By virtue of its size and impact, he creates a revolutionary statement work.

This dramatic rendering of the famous Scottish lake relies on mostly short, choppy strokes of thick paint to build color and texture. The composition is designed to direct the viewer to the surface of the loch in the distance, which almost glows as it reflects the light from above. "Hopefully this work captures some of the rugged beauty of the Scottish landscape," says Robert. The sides of the gallery wrapped canvas are painted a complementary brown.
About the Artist
Robert Hofherr avoids depicting a landscape exactly as he sees it or as the viewer might expect. Instead, he enjoys reimagining landscapes and painting his pieces indoors at a fairly rapid pace. The works of French Fauve artists Maurice de Vlaminck and André Derain initially got him interested in painting, and also influenced his decision to not use grey in his works. During his free time he enjoys spending time with his kids, walking his dogs and taking road trips to out-of-way places in the mid-Atlantic region. He currently lives in Maryland.
