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.

"Tierra" Acrylic and Oil Painting
By Kierstin Young
Located in Denver, CO
Kierstin Young's (US based) "Tierra" is an acrylic and oil painting depicting a Comet Moth and it's yellow and red designs Artist Statement/Bio: (b. The Year of the Rabbit) Kierstin's life began by almost never beginning at all. A car accident occurred while Kierstin’s mother was pregnant with her. The doctors advised against continuing the pregnancy for fear that Kierstin would be born without limbs or even blind. Her parents decided against it, and Kierstin was born a healthy child. This story was relayed to her as a child as a reminder of how serendipitous her life was. Kierstin was always filled with an overflowing energy and creativity. This led her on many diverse paths in life. Her many areas of focus included psychology, poetry, photography, mountaineering, religious studies, music, playing ice hockey, spelunking and pretending to be an astronaut. She grew up between two places; the first was a house built on Native American burial grounds in rural New Jersey. The second was a summer home in the beautiful Adirondack Mountains of New York. For the first sixteen years of her life, she was home taught by an assortment of sane and insane people. Her junior year she began the strange new adventure of going to school. She was most likely the only 16 year old in the world to be that ecstatic about riding a school bus, because it was for the first time in her life. It was there in public school, that her art teachers really encouraged her to pursue her love of art. Hopes were high for going to art school, but Kierstin found herself forbidden from even applying by her parents. She applied anyway. Upon getting rejected from prestigious art schools such as RISD and Parsons, Kierstin decided to attend duCret school of Art. Being rejected turned out to be a serendipitous turn of events for Kierstin once again. It was there at duCret that she met Timothy Jahn and began studying in his Academy duCret and subsequently Jahn Studios. This lead her to continue her education at the Ani Art Academy under the direction of Anthony Waichulis.
