- "Ribbon" Extra-Large Contemporary Landscape Painting By American Martin HoffmanBy Martin HoffmanLocated in Frederiksberg C, DKIntroducing "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...Category

- Contemporary Brown Pale Light Forrest Landscape By Danish Steffen BueBy Steffen BueLocated in Frederiksberg C, DK“Folehaven” is a beautiful forest scenery by the Scandinavian (Danish) contemporary artist Steffen Bue. In this work, the artist draws his inspiration from the pale light of spring. He gradually brings out the nuances and intensity of delicate natural light dancing in between the trees, up until the level when the light catches an intensity that becomes sharp to the eye. The color palette is limited as he works with deeper nuances to capture the harmony created between the warm and cold colors that are characteristic of a forest in spring. Acrylic on canvas with dimensions 70cm (H) x 99cm (W) (27,5in. x 38,9in.). This work is monogrammed “S...Category
