Robert Hofherr

Loft in Translation, Original Painting

2023

Artist Comments
Artist Robert Hofherr paints a spacious, modern loft in Fauvist style. He begins the painting with a vivid underpainting, a vibrant dance of red and blue, further adorning it with delicate lines that hint at finer details. Robert desires to work in which the "hand of the artist" is evident. "The surface of my works is textured, partly from how I prepare the surface and partly due to the style of painting, with thick paint applied with energy."

About the Artist
Artist Robert Hofherr paints fauvist expressions, infusing his work with a strong statement reflected in his bold application of colors and spontaneous brushwork. Robert refrains from depicting a scene in its literal sense and lets the viewer reimagine a piece with their imagination. Following art school, Robert spent decades as an advertising and graphic design professional. "After my children had grown and became independent, I reconnected with painting," shares Robert. Inspired by the French artists Maurice de Vlaminck and André Derain, he now paints in an unused bedroom in his home, often accompanied by the soothing melodies of classical music. When he is not working, Robert enjoys spending time with his family, playing guitar, and exploring the magnificent landscapes of the mid-Atlantic region.
