About the Item

Jasper Cheng, Discouraged Men, 2023 Acrylic on Canvas 130 x 100 cm (55 x 40 in) Hand-signed by the artist Jasper considers himself more simply as somebody who enjoys being creative. He finds satisfaction through expressing his ideas by producing works in various mediums, from painting to graphic design and architecture. Jasper’s current painting practice involves exploring themes of nostalgia and cinematography. Inspired by a current internet trend which explores memories from the 90s - early 2000s, Jasper who was born in 1999 finds himself in a world where his past is constantly resurfacing itself. From watching Tarantino films to admiring the multimedia artist Tyler the Creator, objects such as retro cars to film cameras attracted Jasper’s attention. Like many young people of his age, these “nostalgic” elements give Jasper comfort and entertainment in the period of his life where he began to discover the world as a young adult. As well as absorbing content created in the past, Jasper tries to find excitement in his life by making artworks as an attempt to reinvent the past in the present. From celebrating the low definition film footages with soft edges in his paintings to framing his subjects in old analogue TVs, he hopes to create more entertaining content in the world, which people of his age can enjoy and people of other age groups to understand where we come from.

"Ribbon" Extra-Large Contemporary Landscape Painting By American Martin Hoffman
By Martin Hoffman
Located in Frederiksberg C, DK
Introducing "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...

Extra-Large Dutch Contemporary Abstract Portrait By Hans Bouman
Located in Frederiksberg C, DK
An exquisite contemporary painting by Dutch artist, Hans Bouman. In this painting Bouman creates a captivating interplay of colors and forms that gives rise to an enigmatic abstract face that invites interpretation and contemplation. This captivating large-scale abstract painting is a harmonious blend of warm white, earthy tones, invigorating orange, and calming blue hues. Hans Bouman, born in the Netherlands in 1951, embarked on his artistic journey at the Amsterdam Graphic School and the Gerrit Rietveld Academy of Fine Arts. During the early 1980s, Paris became his haven of inspiration, where his debut in galleries marked the onset of an international presence that continues to flourish. Bouman's artistic evolution is characterized by cycles of creativity, but it is his larger-than-life hieratic heads that he is renown for. These remarkable pieces pay homage to influences as diverse as the Moai sculptures of Easter Island, the intricate masks of Africa...
