David Hoffos
Scenes From the House Dream
Oct 4 - Nov 30
SAAG
Opening Reception: Sat Oct 4, 8PM
Joan Stebbins writes: “The House Dream project has formed the nexus of Hoffos’ studio practice for the past five years and serves as a compendium of the artist’s signature new/old media techniques which have been perfected over seventeen years of art production. In Scenes from the House Dream (which now number 25), as with all previous work, Hoffos forms a pact with the viewer; he asks us to suspend disbelief and enter his world. What we find there may both disturb and delight.” This exhibition, curated by Shirley Madill, is organized and circulated by the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria in partnership with the Southern Alberta Art Gallery.
David Hoffos was born in Montreal. He continued his education in Australia and Alberta, earning a BFA with Great Distinction from the University of Lethbridge in 1994. He is the recipient of grants awarded by The Banff Centre Studio Residency Program, the Alberta Foundation for the Arts and the Canada Council for the Arts. In 2002 he was awarded a Sobey Prize. His work has been exhibited across Canada, and in Spain, Portugal, Switzerland and the USA.
