Peche

About Peche

This contemporary mixed-media landscape featuring a peach tree is by Peter Hoffer.

In full blossom, the pretty form of a pink peach tree dominates the canvas.
The single tree is set against a soft, ethereal turquoise and pink sky and a rich green and golden field. Known for his romantic landscapes, Hoffer’s unique style marries realism, impressionism, and abstract expressionism. Hoffer’s trees are distinctive because they appear to have ‘personalities’ as each one is quite different. He employs a variety of techniques to achieve this effect by adding markings, scratches, and drippings. The result is thoroughly modern.

“I wanted to do the landscape in a manner in which it is personified. Where the tree becomes the individual, even playing on some clichés." Peter Hoffer

“There is a sense of painterly surface and medium as well as of literary depth and meaning.” Lynn Moore, The Montreal Gazette
