Beschreibung
Imagined Landscapes is an ongoing series of paintings by German-born artist Ira Hoffecker (lives in Vancouver, Canada) that begun during Covid lockdown. Due to restricted movement, she started growing a garden and painted the emerging plants. The flowers served as visual and tactile anchors during isolation, while her more recent paintings invent and imagine floral environments. Rather than describing real places, they suggest what a refuge might feel like. Inspired by botany, music, poetry, philosophy, mysticism, art, and more, Hoffeckers paintings embody harmony, tension, and reverence alike. This book features over 70 works from the last six years, each accompanied by an essay by Debora Alanna, who writes: Cultivation here is born through whimsy and the wilding of imagined space.
