About Der Wald
Der Wald--it means ‘forest’ in German. Canadian artist Peter Hoffer has re-imagined the landscape in this colourful contemporary portrait of a forest. Rendered in bright turquoise and orange, elegant bare deciduous trees stand tall in the foreground of this mixed media work. The background provides intriguing contrast—dark green fir trees offer glimpses of a blue and rose-coloured sky."You start seeing the scratches…and the blobs of paint and the drips and to me that's what is communicating the true landscape, the layers. That's what's interesting, the layers." Peter Hoffer
He holds an MFA. from Concordia University and degrees from the University of Guelph and OCAD University. Hoffer has lived and worked in Toronto, New York City, Paris, Montreal and Berlin. He has exhibited widely at art fairs in Basel, Toronto, New York, Stockholm, London, Milan, Amsterdam and Hong Kong. His paintings are held in many private, corporate and public collections.
