About the Item

A beautifully rendered sparrow sits on a white branch in the center of this painting by Peter Hoffer. Known for idealized landscapes, Hoffer has chosen to honor a little bird indigenous to North America and parts of Europe. Sparrows are historically considered noble creatures as they have survived and thrived despite their many natural predators. Hoffer’s sparrow is exquisitely detailed against a gorgeous ethereal background of a cloud of turquoise and mauve. The Canadian artist follows the tradition of 18th and 19th-century European artists who often depicted prized or admired animals in the landscape. "While we admire the beauty of the work, we are aware of a modern artist asking us to consider the process and the act of creation itself. “ Lynn Moore, Montreal Gazette Hoffer holds an MFA. from Concordia University and degrees from the University of Guelph and OCAD University. Hoffer has lived and worked in Toronto, New York City, Paris, Montreal, and Berlin. He has exhibited widely at art fairs in Basel, Toronto, New York, Stockholm, London, Milan, Amsterdam and Hong Kong. His paintings are held in many private, corporate, and public collections.

What You See - large, soft, blue, pink, gestural abstract, acrylic on canvas
By Milly Ristvedt
Located in Bloomfield, ON
A flurry of washed passages in a sky blue and rose pink mixed with passages of brilliant yellow, black, turquoise and cherise with curved strands of fixed pastel. These fine lines in bright green, electric blue, pink, cherise and black create spatial tension and depth within the large picture plane. This painting from 1980 is an early example of Ristvedt's ability to create a poetic narrative of space, light, texture and movement through color. Milly Ristvedt (b. 1942, Kimberley, BC) RCA, began her career in Toronto in 1964 after studies with Takao Tanabe at the Vancouver School of Art. At 24, her work was included in the Centennial Exhibition at the Art Gallery of Ontario...
