About the Item
Artist Comments
A quiet, sloping city street lined with tall trees. "This urban study, inspired by the Fauvist masters, derives from the exercise of reducing the original image to blocks of expressionist color," shares artist Robert Hofherr. "The palette is bright and expansive but avoids the bright greens and blues which in turn allow the warmer tones to remain important. The piece retains its visual impact through the elimination of unnecessary detail."
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.

- Moody Blue House, Original PaintingBy Laura (Yi Zhen) ChenLocated in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
"The house right at the neighborhood entrance," says Laura. "Never been occupied - it looks so moody at certain time of the day. Love the style and its rustiness, the light on the front of the house and shadow on the ground."About the Artist
Laura begins the painting process by taking multiple photographs, which she then combines and sketches into one composition. She takes a spontaneous approach to color, and often finds that her final paintings are quite different than her original intentions. As such, her color palette is vibrant and at times unexpected. Laura’s artwork is executed with stylized modernism, featuring heavy outlines and dramatic shadows. Much of her subject matter is architectural. “I especially like historical buildings in my area,” says Laura. “I am fascinated by the geometric shapes of the old buildings, their varieties and repetitions, their dramatic color contrast. To me, their simple structures have personality and dignity.” Laura works best when her studio is clean and well organized, and finds inspiration in the “miles of good paintings” hanging in the world’s great museums.Words that describe this painting: house, neighborhood, expressionism, architecture, expressionism, representational, acrylic painting, blue
