About this artwork
In my work, which evokes the silhouette of a steamship, I combine acrylic, lacquer and earth to create a raw and visceral energy. This abstract and brutal composition plays with the duality of darkness and colorful accents that evoke a dramatic, almost mysterious mood. The use of natural materials emphasizes the connection to the earth and to basic human emotions. This artwork brings a profound and emotional energy to any space, challenging and inspiring…
the viewer.

Credentials
- Established Artist
- Works on commission
Gerald Hofmann, adept in a variety of media such as painting, digital photography, installation and object art, emphasizes materiality in his works. In the works shown here from the "Nigredo" phase, he creates powerful, tactile images through the stylistic use of plaster, glazes, sand and charcoal. In other works of art that address the mind-matter problem, black and gold contrast, with gold being a symbol of the spiritual. The emotional and content-related aspects of his works take the viewer on a journey home by capturing the seed of gold and what it symbolizes as an inkling.
