Seascapes and Woodlands

Paintings by Christine Hofmann

From the 14th - 20th of May, Artspace Woodbridge gallery will present an exhibition of stunning paintings by Suffolk based painter Christine Hofmann. Her life like, large canvasses bring a taste of summer with beautiful coast, beach, water and woodlands scenes.

Painting crystal clear coastal waters has been Christine’s passion for many years. Initially inspired by prolonged stays in Australia and the beauty of its pristine beaches, her more recent work has been focusing on Mediterranean coasts - the French Riviera, Corsica and the Tuscan Archipelago.

Her compositions cover a range of different ways of looking at water, often set against the contrasting elements of sand, rock, sky and plants, and include some truly enticing close-ups of the sun patterns through the clear water.

If you fancy more of a shady environment, you will be drawn to her woodland scenes which offer an intriguing escape into myriad shades of green.

While there is a personal connection to all the scenes captured in her paintings, Christine selects those that she feels will resonate with a wide range of people.
“I simply try to capture the essence of what makes nature fascinating for us to look at.”

She will be at the gallery for the duration of the exhibition and is looking forward to chat and answer any questions about her work.
