Constable Peter Hoffer

A large, leafy tree framed by scumbled washes of pale blue, moss green and cerise dominates this rich landscape by Peter Hoffer. The artist's skilled rendering is reminiscent of the landscapes of John Constable -- Hoffer's use of red is an homage to the British painter who used the colour to represent man. The work is finished with a layer of resin and evokes nostalgia for classical, romantic forms and periods.
