Irish Cottage, Abstract Painting

2023

Artist Comments
Inspired by some of Paul Klee's works, this piece starts with a straightforward view of an Irish house and reimagines it as a study in composition and texture. With the use of earth-toned underpainting, intersecting lines, and strategic placement of colors, the painting takes on an abstract application.

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.
