Pigment Portrait Paintings

This contemporary landscape painting is by Peter Hoffer. The distinctive artwork of this Canadian artist lies somewhere between realism and impressionism. Lauded internationally for his ethereal landscapes Hoffer’s artwork is reminiscent of the idyllic visions of the 19th century romanticists. This piece—a unique mix of clay and pigment on jute captures a view of the countryside…with a single human figure in the center—an almost ghost-like white image who appears to be gazing at the moon. The figure is surrounded by lush foliage painted with expressive brushstrokes in deep greens, aubergine, golden earthy browns and turquoise waters. The sky is a mix of soft blues and blush. "I love landscape painting and one of the reasons I continue to do landscape painting is that these paintings are nowhere specific.” Peter Hoffer “They are profound works from an artist with a clear vision.” Peter Simpson...

Believing that the departed continue to hold influence over the lives of the living, many Chinese households honor their ancestors in private family rituals, invoking their spirits for long life, health, and prosperity. Commemorative portraits, which came into vogue in the late Ming and Qing dynasties, were commissioned specifically for ancestor worship and were believed to house the spirits of the deceased. When properly cared for, one's ancestors were believed to be a powerful source of honor, protection, and good luck. This pair of ancestor portraits was hand-painted in the 19th century and beautifully depicts a Qing-dynasty couple. While some ancestral portraits offer a more stylized representation of one's ancestors, this particular pair is painted with incredible realism and life-like expressions. Rather than depict the pair in a regal hall wearing elaborate finery, the couple is shown in a quiet home environment, seated at either end of a square tea table. Their surroundings are minimal, practically undecorated, and they wear simple, matching blue silk robes...
