Josef Hofer - untitled
Technique: colored pencils on paper
Artist Biography: Josef Hofer, who has been a resident of an Austrian institution for more than 30 years, does not speak. He draws. Tirelessly. In the metaphoric mirror that he uses and reaches out to us, people attempt to flee from the straitjacket of the frame with eroticized and untamed grace. His works - to which Michel Thévoz has devoted several essays - depict a founding duality between body and psyche. Present in numerous museum collections, he is also part of great private collections: Antoine de Galbert (France), Amr Shaker (Switzerland) and even in the collection of Arnulf Rainer (Austria), who considers him "one of the greatest of the brut contemporary artists". A significant number of his works was donated to the Centre Pompidou collection in 2021.
