About the Item
Alfie Caine’s painting, Pear and Lilies, 2022, is a serene architectural dreamscape guiding us to peer into the East Sussex landscape through an opened door in an intimate domestic scene.
Caine creates a meticulously detailed domestic scene which draws attention to the minutiae of cutlery, containers, chopped pears and freshly picked wildflowers. A pulled-out chair and mirror reflection of a door swung open in the background hint towards a missing inhabitant, whilst also offering us places to sit, stand and rest in their place. Another door left temptingly ajar reveals the surrounding expanses of a fantasized countryside inspired by the marshes, cliffs, valleys and rivers of the East Sussex coastline.
The paintings are informed by Caine’s daily experiences: cycling to and from his studio, he travels along the vast expanse of river in Rye, which he catches glimpses through windows and doors into people’s homes. Following his relocation from London, Caine particularly noticed the different levels present in the landscape: 'It reveals so much, flat land meets hillside and from their peaks you see panoramic views of the changing skies, the horizon and waterways and from the flat plains below you can look up at the hills and their layers of houses'.
The incorporation of these topographical features, details from existing houses in Rye, as well as the design objects Caine keeps in his house and his studio, all merged with the dreamed-up elements, create the feeling of familiarity tinged with escapism in the works. The real and the imagined seamlessly collide within the artist’s idealised worlds.

- "Ribbon" Extra-Large Contemporary Landscape Painting By American Martin HoffmanBy Martin HoffmanLocated in Frederiksberg C, DKIntroducing "Ribbon," an extraordinary painting from the "Jersey Meadow Series" by Martin Hoffman in the 1970s. From the 1970s onwards, Hoffman's career showcased a masterful combination of beautiful painting techniques and challenging subject matter. This contemporary painting depicts an abandoned landscape with a hypnotic blue plastic ribbon at its center. Hoffman's landscape creates an almost mesmerizing effect, where the subject matter of destruction and decay is presented poetically. The warm shades of grey with hints of blue, brown, and purple create a limited yet powerful palette that enhances the melancholic beauty of the painting. The painting measures 151cm x 202cm / 59.5in x 79.5in and is signed 'Martin Hoffman' on the reverse side of the canvas. It is titled 'Ribbon' and is dated '73.' Additionally, the artist specifies that the painting is part of the 'Jersey Meadow Series.' It is ready to hang and comes with a silver-painted frame. The condition of the painting is great, with hardly any signs of wear. The frame has a few scratches but is otherwise in good condition. Artist Bio: Martin Hoffman was a versatile artist and illustrator, mostly known for his paintings. He was a self-taught painter and a gifted drummer who had worked as an art director for the Miami News, Graphic Arts Inc., and Steiner & Wall Advertising. In 1973, Martin Hoffman landed his first solo exhibition at the OK Harris...Category
