Artist Comments
"This view of the south bank of the C;D canal makes use of expressive paint handling and a bold color palette," says artist Robert Hofherr. "The arc of the bridge and the diagonal pier in the foreground draw the eye into the center of the composition." The dramatic sunset scene creates interesting and subtle color combinations optimizing on cool blue and purple tones.

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.
