Coming at a time when the world is reeling from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, HOFA Gallery have reached out to our artists around the globe to collate an exhibition which acts as both an emotional portrait of the current time and a reference to a certain unexpected unity across communities and nations which these unprecedented times have brought on.
'HERE AND NOW' MARKS THE INCEPTION OF HOFA'S DEVELOPING VIRTUAL COMMUNITY. OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS WE WILL BE WORKING ON UTILISING THE LATEST 3D CAPTURING AND RENDERING TECHNOLOGIES TO RECONSTRUCT ENTIRE COLLECTIONS.

As Elio D'Anna, Co-founder of HOFA, puts it, "We hope that through this virtual group exhibition, we will create a space for art do what it does best - to serve as a visual language for navigating difficult terrains of human experience and help people find healing and hope. We are happy that lovers of contemporary art around the world can experience 'Here and Now' from the comfort of their homes. Putting technology at the service of art in this way is creating very exciting possibilities."

INTRODUCING FLORIAN EYMANN
A major highlight of the exhibition will be emerging French artist, Florian Eymann, who recently made headlines when his exhibition in Miami sold out before it opened to the public. Eymann's haunting reconstructions of portraits by Leonardo Da Vinci, Vermeer, Caravaggio and others are instantly unforgettable. His collage and layering techniques ensure that the original portraits are quite recognizable though viewers must contend with the unsettling distortions with which he confounds the original portraits, conjuring something new from something admittedly very well known.

HOFA GALLERY'S DONATION TO NHS
-
HOFA's founders have also pledged to donate 100% of proceeds from a very special work by British artist and ex-special forces soldier Bran Symondson, titled ‘See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil' to the NHS. Symondson, a renowned mixed media artist and reportage photographer, created this piece in a collaboration called ‘Hollywood Re-Loaded’ with the late and great Hollywood photographer, Terry O'Neill, who was famous for his classic portraits of Hollywood stars of the 60s and 70s.
Bran Symondson says: "I am so honoured HOFA has chosen my work to support the brave doctors, nurses and medical personnel who are at the frontline of Britain's fight to contain this pandemic. Terry would have been delighted that our work is supporting the cause in a small way."

NEW WORKS FROM KATYA ZVEREVA
Russian artist, Katya Zvareva, who made a splash at the recently concluded Zona Maco 2020 in Mexico City where she sold out as the headline artist at HOFA Gallery’s booth. Her emotive artworks, brimming with raw intensity and rendered in stark contrasting palettes, invite introspection. In contemplating the disoriented interrelationships depicted in her art, viewers find occasion to reflect on the disconcerting dynamics of personal relationships.
