Lot 110: Hanspeter Hofmann, Lithograph, Cellular Structures, 1995

This composition of offered lithograph in colors from 1995 by Swiss artist Hanspeter Hofmann appears like a cross-section of a microscopic cellular structure of a leaf. This is characteristic for the art of the painter and print maker, who once worked as laboratory chemist. Inspired by the knowledge obtained there, he integrates it in his works and thus enables the onlooker an insight into nature’s artful world.

The lithograph is signed and dated at the lower right in pencil ‘Hanspeter Hofmann 95’ as well as inscribed at the lower left in pencil ‘Für Josef’. It is in a very good condition. The image dimensions measure 51.2 x 69.8 cm, while the sheet dimensions are 57.7 x 76.1 cm.

Hanspeter Hofmann (born 1960)
The artist was born in 1960 in Mitlödi, Switzerland. The color- and form-landscape of his works appear like cell structures, which is the influence of his scientific background. After years of working in the area of abstraction, Hofmann tries to use an enlarged form vocabulary in his younger pieces, including popular pictograms like skulls. Hanspeter Hofmann lives and works in Basel, Switzerland. (nlu)
