About the Item

This photorealistic still life painting presents a carefully orchestrated arrangement of vegetables with a strong dramatic and sculptural presence. Familiar organic subjects—cabbage, watermelon, peppers, garlic, eggplant, and citrus—are elevated beyond simple representation, forming a powerful composition that balances photorealism with a subtly theatrical sensibility. The palette of the painting is composed of rich greens, muted yellows, deep purple, and earthy neutrals, punctuated by the vivid red of the watermelon’s flesh. Strong, directional lighting carves the forms out of the dark background, creating pronounced contrasts and a compelling sense of depth and gravity. The composition recalls the traditions of classical European still-life painting, particularly the Baroque, where light, shadow, and material presence are central. At the same time, the stark realism of the subjects lends the work a distinctly contemporary edge, creating an atmosphere in which historical reference and modern clarity coexist. Presented in a black-painted wooden frame with an understated profile that reinforces the painting’s dramatic character, the work would make a striking focal point in modern or minimalist interior. The frame is included, and the painting arrives ready to hang. The work is unattributed and undated. Framed dimensions: 79,5cm (H) x 103cm (W) / ca. 31.3 in (H) × 40.6 in (W). Unframed dimensions: 76cm(H) x 101cm (W) / ca. 29.9 in (H) × 39.8 in (W).

"Ribbon" Extra-Large Contemporary Landscape Painting By American Martin Hoffman
By Martin Hoffman
Located in Frederiksberg C, DK
Introducing "Ribbon," an extraordinary painting from the "Jersey Meadow Series" by Martin Hoffman in the 1970s. From the 1970s onwards, Hoffman's career showcased a masterful combination of beautiful painting techniques and challenging subject matter. This contemporary painting depicts an abandoned landscape with a hypnotic blue plastic ribbon at its center. Hoffman's landscape creates an almost mesmerizing effect, where the subject matter of destruction and decay is presented poetically. The warm shades of grey with hints of blue, brown, and purple create a limited yet powerful palette that enhances the melancholic beauty of the painting. The painting measures 151cm x 202cm / 59.5in x 79.5in and is signed 'Martin Hoffman' on the reverse side of the canvas. It is titled 'Ribbon' and is dated '73.' Additionally, the artist specifies that the painting is part of the 'Jersey Meadow Series.' It is ready to hang and comes with a silver-painted frame. The condition of the painting is great, with hardly any signs of wear. The frame has a few scratches but is otherwise in good condition. Artist Bio: Martin Hoffman was a versatile artist and illustrator, mostly known for his paintings. He was a self-taught painter and a gifted drummer who had worked as an art director for the Miami News, Graphic Arts Inc., and Steiner & Wall Advertising. In 1973, Martin Hoffman landed his first solo exhibition at the OK Harris...
