Egon Hofmann
Lalibela

1967

About the Item

Egon Hofmann war nicht nur als Maler wichtig und wegweisend, sondern auch als Netzwerker, der als Gründer und langjähriger Präsident der Künstlervereinigung „März“ eine wichtige Rolle spielte. Auch die Ankäufe von Fritz Aigner von Oberösterreichs Museen sind auf ein Drängen Egon Hofmanns getätigt worden. Der Bezug zur Galerie ist äußerst eng, denn die Galerie kaufte den gesamten Nachlass sowie auch die Privatsammlung von Egon Hofmann, die eine eigene Ausstellung ergab. Obwohl Egon Hofmann unzweifelhaft ein Begründer der Klassischen Moderne in Oberösterreich ist und er einen unverwechselbaren, reduzierten, monumentalen und farblich expressiven Stil geprägt hat, hat er am Kunstmarkt sein Potenzial bei weitem nicht ausgeschöpft. 2020 gab es ein große Personale in Nordico Stadtmuseum in Linz, bei der auch einige interessante Videos erstellt wurden. Egon Hofmanns Bildsprache greift die neuesten Strömungen der Kunst des beginnenden 20. Jahrhunderts, von Paul Cézanne, den Künstlern der „Brücke“ oder den Schweizer Malern im Umfeld von Ferdinand Hodler auf. Er entwickelte seinen unverkennbaren künstlerischen Ausdruck, durch das Wechselspiel einer strengen, kühlen Komposition und einer warmen, empfindsamen Farbakzentuierung. Neben der Bergmalereien entstanden zahlreiche Stillleben, Stadtansichten und Werke, in denen er Eindrücke von seinen Reisen festhielt. Lalibela ist Beispiel einer der Reiseimpressionen aus der Nachkriegszeit, die Egon Hofmann in expressiver Farbigkeit und strengem kompositorischen Aufbau festhält. Die Felsenkirchen von Lalibella wurden aus dem 13. Jahrhundert aus den Felsen herausgeschnitten und sind so einzigartige architektonische Meisterwerke, die zum Weltkulturerbe gehören. Dargestellt ist wohl die wichtigste Kirche Bet Giyorgis und zwar von oben betrachtet. Das große Kreuz entspricht dem Dach dieses imposanten Baus, im Hintergrund reduziert der Künstler die Baumlandschaft zu drei einzelnen klar akzentuierten Bäumen, die ein kompositorisches Gegengewicht darstellen. Ein rauer Farbauftrag mit durchschimmernden Farben schafft eine weitere exotische Ebene und gibt insgesamt eine Darstellung von meditativer Kraft. Die Galerie Lehner betreut den Nachlass des Künstlers. Katalog im Rahmen der Reihe Artefacte

English Snow covered Winter Landscape with people by a house, rising Sun
Located in Woodbury, CT
Peter has an absolute love of oil painting and especially admires the masters of Dutch Painting of the 17th Century, which is reflected in his own work. Since 1995, after seeing the work of Estonian artist Olav Maran, Peter decided to review his paintings and started researching ‘Still Life’ painters such as Willem Kalf and De Heem. After experimenting with priming his own panels and canvases with different colours, then painting with thick and thin paint and glazing on top, in the way of the old masters, he has developed a style with detail and atmosphere that is essential in his portrayal of fine wine, fruit and cheeses etc. In a quirky and sometimes conceptual world, Peter makes no apologies for producing traditional subjects where the craftsmanship is evident in every brushstroke. His paintings bring much joy and pleasure to those who understand he has an obvious and underlying love of handling paint and observing his subject using techniques that take many years to acquire. Recently he has changed the view point for some of his paintings, to give them a bold contemporary look. Peter Kotka...
