Klaus Hoffmann - vita

Klaus Hoffmann studied art at the Wiesbaden Freie Kunstschule and at the Freie Kunstakademie Frankfurt.

In his works he explores the interactions of colors and forms, the special color contrasts and the effect of pure monochrome color surfaces.
In doing so, he avoids representational associations and is oriented to the art movement Concrete Art.

Mostly geometric forms, which can also show deviations and breaks, are used.
His goal is to create works that represent only themselves and do not reference things that are outside the pictorial space, in the visible world.
In addition, they should allow a sensual experience of colors and shapes and their interactions.

He works with pure, high-quality pigments that are rubbed into aqueous acrylic dispersion and applied in numerous thin layers to give depth to the color surfaces and enhance their luminosity.
Self-primed raw linen, whose natural structure remains recognizable, is used. Thus the material is included in the work and an autonomous overall work is created.
