Ruan Hoffmann

Ruan Hoffmann's artwork gives a fresh eye on mix media. He graduates from South Africa and becomes a full-time artist who works with several mediums. Hoffmann has a highly distinguished style of transforming an unshaped, plain clay chunk into a piece of art by using photography, drawing, painting, type or metallics. The most impressive part is also the most indispensable part of the work to me is the base he uses for his art--ceramic. His pieces teem with a rich amount of mediums--it all depends on how would the artist arrange them.

No need too much interpreting toward his works because I think they are all kind of self-explanatory; It's never a well-planned, conscious process of creating art, those contents floating in pieces pretty much express Hoffmann himself as an artist.
