Oxymoron
Opening May 9th, 7pmThe Shoppe - 3103 East Colfax Avenue Denver, CO 80206
Oxymoron is a group of selected work by Denver-based artist and graphic designer, Andrew Hoffman. Andrew describes his style as “consistently inconsistent.”
“I’m a graphic designer by trade so I am working on the computer all of the time, and my style has to be very diverse…and exclusive style is for an exclusive audience, and that does not translate well in my discipline. I am always experimenting with new mediums, such as screen-printed apparel or painting with oils in the classical tradition. Oxymoron is a reaction against digital media, the medium I am most accustomed with. The show consist solely of oil paintings on canvas using classical methods and techniques but depict contemporary and contradictory themes and motifs.”
Some of the paintings are literally oxymoron’s, such as “Bittersweet” and “Friendly Fire”. While other pieces, such as “Three Hundred on Daffodil” are not as literal. This piece was inspired by D.H Lawrence’s short story The Rocking Horse Winner, which Hoffman describes as having an over-arching theme of “Innocent greed.”
Hoffman has shown at various galleries across Colorado, such as CORE New Art Space and the FU Collective + Gallery. Oxymoron is Andrew Hoffman’s first solo show. Hoffman has a BFA in graphic design form Western State College of Colorado and is a current student at the Classical Art Academy in Boulder, Colorado. He is the Art Director at Brand Iron, a Denver-based branding and marketing agency. He was born in Denver, Colorado in 1984 and his hometown is Bailey, Colorado.
Hoffman’s work can be viewed at http://andrewhoffmandesign.com. Oxymoron opening reception is May 9th at 7:00pm at The Shoppe featuring DJ Tyler Snow. The show ends June 30th.

Web updates

Tons of new work in the print and logo section of the website. As well as many site-wide updates, including a fixed navigation menu bar which I think makes the site a little more user-friendly.
