FINE ARTS EXHIBITION GALLERY GUIDE

MEREDITH HOFFHEINS M.F.A. Painting and Drawing ’12 Meredith Hoffheins grew up in Hanover, PA. She lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. Show Statement: My landscapes don’t come from any one particular source but from memories of places, literature, history, and my imagination. The depictions of disconcerting or whimsical places are familiar, yet totally displaced. Shadows contend with and often become solid forms, while color contrasts heighten confusion of space. I often consider Early Italian Renaissance paintings and their tightly packed imagery drawn from myth and tradition, among other things. I borrow from their construction of space, before the concept of perspective was fully developed. My intent is to construct an expansive space in a small format. meredithhoffheins.com
