This sample puts me in mind of summer weddings and bridesmaids. It's all about the 'Do'! With all the usual softness and subtlety in his patterning and palette Mark Hoffmann shares one of his usual delightfully fun observations. To see more of Mark's witty art check out his updated portfolio here.
Mark Hoffmann has a quirky sense of humor and an uncanny way of communicating his ideas--often in a word or two! To see more of what he has to say with his fun (if not irreverent) conceptual art, take a peek at his updated portfolio here.
For an article in D Magazine about "growing up in a town that is no longer there", Mark Hoffman created this conceptual illustration depicting the houses as haunting shells with a foreboding sky that further sets the mood for West, Texas, as a Ghost Town. Mark's primitive art style has a dream-like quality perfect for the way the story is told through childhood memories. To see more of Mark's evocative conceptual art, visit his updated portfolio here.
Ghost Town by Mark Hoffmann
Mark Hoffmann has been having big fun creating smallish art for the Enormous Tiny Art Show #13! His naive visual vocabulary is, as always, full of wit with an underlying deeper wisdom. Of his art, Mark says, "The work is meant to be perfect through its imperfections. The boards I paint on are warped and frayed around the edges. Perspectives, proportions, compositions and colors are intentionally left awkward to add to the conversation."
The show runs from February 1-25. Check out the huge selection of art (no larger than 10″ x 10″) for sale at very reasonable prices here. Better move fast because some have already sold before the sale has officially begun!
If you're local attend the opening at the Nahcotta Gallery in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, Friday February 1st, 5-8pm.
Here are a few of our faves from the featured Mark Hoffmann collection:
