About the Item

In the Evening is an oil on panel painting, 23.5 x 25.5" canvas size, signed ‘HOFMANN’ lower right, and framed in a custom, black and gold-leaf, closed-corner frame. Douglas Hofmann’s works have been compared to the great Dutch Masters of the 17th century, Vermeer in particular, as well as the Impressionist master Edgar Degas. He is one of the most talented American artists to arise out of the country’s mid-century Realist tradition, creating rare masterworks of impeccable, photo-realist technique combined with a brilliant sense of color and composition. Each painting Hofmann creates requires months of difficult and painstaking labor to realize in the Dutch Master technique in which he excels. His skill is an extremely unusual one in the world of contemporary painting which results in works that are so rare in method, but also in that he can only complete one to three per year. Additionally, the element of romantic composition, combined with beautiful color, pattern and especially handling of light, puts these paintings in their own unique category when compared to other realist painters like Estes and Pearlstein. Hofmann’s paintings radiate light and convey a warmth that is usually absent from realist works.

Untitled (paint) #14, 2018
By Ben Weiner
Located in Greenwich, CT
Untitled (Paint) #14 is an oil painting on canvas with a canvas size of 16 x 24 inches, signed, titled and dated on the overlap verso, 'Ben Weiner Untitled (Paint) #14 2018'' and framed in a contemporary white frame. Connecting two opposing styles—abstraction and photorealism—Ben Weiner creates hyper-detailed, lush paintings and videos of extremely magnified consumer products, including hair gel, chemical food additives, and deodorant. In his work, he presents such meticulously rendered, close-up views of his subjects that they read as pure abstractions. A through-line in Weiner’s various bodies of work is contemporary culture’s obsession with bodily enhancement through chemical products—whether by using hair products or taking illegal drugs. In Weiner's Paint series (depicting oil paint on a palette) he explores the upended relationship between process and product. Ben Charles Weiner (b. 1980) is a New York based contemporary artist. His work bridges the seemingly opposite styles of hyperrealism, and process-based abstraction. Mr. Weiner has exhibited his work widely in the US and internationally, at institutions including The Carnegie Art Museum, The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, The Boca Raton Museum of Art, and The Tarble Art Center. His work is in public collections including Microsoft, Sammlung/Collection, Progressive Insurance, and The Frederick R. Weisman Collection...

In the Calm, Oil Painting
By Gary Leonard
Located in San Francisco, CA

Artist Comments
Artist Gary Leonard juxtaposes a realistic figure clothed in a floral dress against a dreamy background that hints at a wild garden. The spotlight heightens her reserved gesture and timid expression while giving her skin a soft glow. Shadows on her face, neck, and body create a striking contrast to the lighter tones of the composition. "This work creates an atmosphere of calm, blending the woman's soft countenance and pastel greens of nature. "


About the Artist
Through composition, color, texture and more, Gary Leonard celebrates beauty. His works start with the subject, but then he lets the work evolve into a more complex composition. Oftentimes, he enjoys merging figures with abstract images and varying textures. He hopes that his works will leave the viewer with a sense of warmth and peace. When he's not making art, he enjoys listening to music and learning how to play the piano.
