About Tree Portrait 20207
Canadian artist Peter Hoffer is best known for his nostalgic landscapes reminiscent of artists such as John Constable. This is one of a series of 12 portraits of deciduous trees in full foliage set simply against a pale blue and mauve sky. Hoffer uses thickly applied layers of resin randomly scratched and marked to emulate the natural weathering of trees.“Exposed to the elements, scarred by the wind and shifting soils, the landscape reveals its own narrative.” Peter Hoffer
He obtained an MFA from Concordia University and additional degrees from the University of Guelph and OCAD University. Hoffer 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.
