Sunflowers, Original Painting

Artist Comments
Artist Robert Hofherr presents an expressionist still life inspired by many of Van Gogh's work in this genre. He executes the piece with looser and less realistic details. "In some portions, the paint application gives a nod to Matisse," shares Robert. The color palette eliminates red and orange, creating an image of yellow and gold as the show's stars.

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.
