About the Item

Rainy Day is an oil on panel painting, 22.12 x 46.31" panel size, signed ‘HOFMANN’ lower left and framed in a custom, contemporary, gold-leafed 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.

Polychrome Gel #11
By Ben Weiner
Located in Greenwich, CT
Polychrome Gel #11 is an oil painting on canvas with a canvas size of 18 x 24 inches, signed, titled and dated on the overlap verso, 'Ben Weiner Polychrome Gel #11 2019'' 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. "The Gel Series presents a virtual environment that is in flux. Based on hair gel, a material that is physically malleable and visually enticing, it has the ability to change one’s physical appearance. In an abstract manner, the painting reflects our current global environment, subject to constant, dramatic change and rapid development- on the one hand through humanity’s ability to alter the face of the earth according to its ideas; on the other through changing environmental conditions and natural disasters". - Ben Weiner 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...
