About the Item

The urban series of oil on panel paintings take their inspiration from architecture and the energy of the inner city, its vertical nature, and its humanly propelled intensity. 'Upward Thrust' is rendered in shocking yellow, and is part realism, part abstraction, and part impressionism. It has a vitality and high energy that references neon and light not found in nature. In the series we find intimate views of glass towers, neon signs, bits of nostalgia in the words from old advertising, and clues to a world in flux. The paintings are powerful punches of optimism that hang well on their own or clustered together. Surfaces are smooth and slick, traditional oil on panel.

Jeremy Hoffeld's work plays with ambiguity, and subverts the notion that one must choose between "abstraction and figuration, the new and the borrowed or even clichéd, the bright and the muddy, the natural/primordial and the synthetic/modern." For Hoffeld, "paintings, both abstract and figurative, have always been linked with music and literature. He aims to infuse his paintings with...improvisation, spontaneity, and energy." Hoffeld has had several solo shows since 2006 at galleries in New York including John Davis Gallery, Varga Gallery, Sky-Tree Gallery and Art Center, and the Catskills Gallery, as well as Galerie Hugo Cassel in Berlin and the Emily Harding Gallery...
