About the Item
In the Evening is an oil on panel painting, 23.5 x 25.5" canvas size, signed ‘HOFMANN’ lower right, and framed in a custom, black and gold-leaf, closed-corner frame.
Douglas Hofmann’s works have been compared to the great Dutch Masters of the 17th century, Vermeer in particular, as well as the Impressionist master Edgar Degas. He is one of the most talented American artists to arise out of the country’s mid-century Realist tradition, creating rare masterworks of impeccable, photo-realist technique combined with a brilliant sense of color and composition.
Each painting Hofmann creates requires months of difficult and painstaking labor to realize in the Dutch Master technique in which he excels. His skill is an extremely unusual one in the world of contemporary painting which results in works that are so rare in method, but also in that he can only complete one to three per year. Additionally, the element of romantic composition, combined with beautiful color, pattern and especially handling of light, puts these paintings in their own unique category when compared to other realist painters like Estes and Pearlstein. Hofmann’s paintings radiate light and convey a warmth that is usually absent from realist works.

Douglas Hofmann
Douglas Hofmann was born in Baltimore, Maryland in 1945 and began his training in art after high school at the Maryland Institute College of Art. He also discovered the Maroger method, which enables the artist to use thin layers of paint and techniques similar to those of the Old Masters. He states, "With my paintings, I strive to get the feeling of air. There is a signature to the work that reveals my hand, my feelings and my personality. You can see the manipulation of the paint and the brush strokes. I don’t want to paint everyday scenes. I’m a dreamer. I want to express a romantic feeling in my work. This appeals to me as a form of self-expression in today’s world of structured reality."

Untitled (paint) #14, 2018
By Ben Weiner
Located in Greenwich, CT
Untitled (Paint) #14 is an oil painting on canvas with a canvas size of 16 x 24 inches, signed, titled and dated on the overlap verso, 'Ben Weiner Untitled (Paint) #14 2018'' and framed in a contemporary white frame.
Connecting two opposing styles—abstraction and photorealism—Ben Weiner creates hyper-detailed, lush paintings and videos of extremely magnified consumer products, including hair gel, chemical food additives, and deodorant. In his work, he presents such meticulously rendered, close-up views of his subjects that they read as pure abstractions. A through-line in Weiner’s various bodies of work is contemporary culture’s obsession with bodily enhancement through chemical products—whether by using hair products or taking illegal drugs. In Weiner's Paint series (depicting oil paint on a palette) he explores the upended relationship between process and product.
Ben Charles Weiner (b. 1980) is a New York based contemporary artist. His work bridges the seemingly opposite styles of hyperrealism, and process-based abstraction. Mr. Weiner has exhibited his work widely in the US and internationally, at institutions including The Carnegie Art Museum, The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, The Boca Raton Museum of Art, and The Tarble Art Center. His work is in public collections including Microsoft, Sammlung/Collection, Progressive Insurance, and The Frederick R. Weisman Collection...

Afternoon - 21st Century Contemporary Oil Painting by Dutch Marten Huitsing
By Marten Huitsing
Located in Nuenen, Noord Brabant
The paintings of this artist have been part of the collection of Galerie Bonnard since his graduation (2010) at the Classical Academy of Groningen. Huitsing has quickly become successful, his style, craftsmanship and choice of subject appeals to many people. Yet Marten, he says, does not want to repeat himself. He is always looking for the way of painting that suits him at that moment. The sympathetic artist got national fame because he beautifully portrayed a famous Dutch TV presentator Mart Smeets in the 'Paint the stars' program. Honest, very recognizable and with a narrative painting. Mart Smeets was overwhelmed, praising his comments. Rightly so! From that moment. Marten Huitsing...
