Robert Hofherr

Down Exeter Street, Original Painting

2023

Artist Comments
Artist Robert Hofherr exhibits an expressionist view of the memorable Exeter Street in England. The simplified cityscape creates visual energy with doses of bold color and highly expressive use of line. "Basic complementary color pairs are used to great effect here," says Robert. He only includes minimal detail to avoid diminishing the freshness and spontaneity of the piece.

About the Artist
Robert Hofherr avoids depicting a landscape exactly as he sees it or as the viewer might expect. Instead, he enjoys reimagining landscapes and painting his pieces indoors at a fairly rapid pace. The works of French Fauve artists Maurice de Vlaminck and André Derain initially got him interested in painting, and also influenced his decision to not use grey in his works. During his free time he enjoys spending time with his kids, walking his dogs and taking road trips to out-of-way places in the mid-Atlantic region. He currently lives in Maryland.
