Large Dual Horizon Surrealist Landscape Oil on Canvas Hoffman
An exceptional piece of mid-1980s Neo-Surrealism, this large-scale landscape painting by Hoffman (dated '85) utilizes a striking split-horizon composition to contrast a vibrant, daytime pastoral world against an atmospheric nocturnal dreamscape. The upper register features stylized crimson trees and rolling hills under a bright sun, while the lower nocturnal realm is dominated by a central blue pyramid with an organic, spine-like seam leading to a floating All-Seeing Eye embedded in the clouds. Brimming with esoteric and Magical Realist iconography, the piece incorporates narrative symbols including a leaping wolf, a sharp eight-pointed star, and a subtle cloud silhouette that mirrors the canine's profile—all beautifully framed by an integrated, hand-stitched lower canvas border. Measures 48 inches square. Overall good condition, please see photos.
