Camille Hannah
Camille Hannah’s works predicate a model of painting that is born from within the frame of technology; they are embedded in twenty-first-century gestural abstraction while conceptually vested in digital and screen technologies.
Harnessing the contemporary aesthetic of mediated visuality, whilst acknowledging that painting is, equally indebted to art history, her work acknowledges the influence of the screen-paradigm through notions relating to painting as object/surface and the perception of interactivity, relating to a virtual form of tactility.

Katya Zvereva
Katya Zvereva was born in Saint Petersburg, Russia in 1990. She received her Master’s Degree of Architecture from the V. Surikov Moscow State Academy Art Institute in 2013, and her Masters of Fine Art from New York Academy of Art in 2016. A multidisciplinary artist, Zvereva’s work crosses over into many mediums, from painting, printmaking, drawing, and sculpture, to explorations with object d’art and furniture.
In printmaking, she has developed her own unique technique based on monotypes mixed with hand drawing, she often prints on multiple layers of fabric or hand-made paper. Katya has also elevated her work by creating large-scale installations based on analogue woodcuts, which are printed by hand on a multitude of surfaces.

Lise Sttoufflet
Lise Stoufflet graduated from the Fine Arts School of Paris in 2014 and continues today her practice in the suburb of Paris in Aubervilliers where she created and develops with fifteen artists at Le Houloc, a studio and artist-run space. Lise Stoufflet develops a work of painting and drawing but also explores the object as a possible overflow of the fictional images she builds. Her works are innocently disconcerting and beautifully surreal. The narrative is richly present in her paintings. The story is not always clear and, oftentimes, unsettling.

Mary Ronayne
Irish painter Mary Ronayne elevates comedy, wit, and fun to a level of purpose, paving the way for farcical elements like melting faces and candy pop colours to become celebrations of the fluidity of time, identity, and life. Juxtaposed with scenes drawn from historical narratives and classical literature, it affirms the enduring elements of humanity in the carefree spirit fans have come to love about her work.

Laura Limbourg
DAY MISSION, 2020Laura Limbourg grew up in the Czech Republic. The main source of Laura’s inspiration is her recent six-month stay in South East Asia. Her paintings show exotic jungle, religious statues and girls from the streets of the local cities, who are forced to sell their bodies for living. Laura points at the prevalence of prostitution, sex tourism and sexual abuse in Asia.
Despite the obvious harm to the women, they are not depicted as objects, but as strong and confident people, who take refuge from the barbaric men and make friends with the animals in the jungle. There is a lot of symbolism and stories behind the individual paintings, which deserve a closer look.

HOFA Gallery has always strived to promote female artists equally, representing on average more than most global fine art galleries; this year, female artists will present alone over 50% of HOFA’s solo and groups shows. By contrast, a study of 3,050 galleries on the Artsy database found that 48% represent 25% or fewer women artists; 10% represent no women artists; only 8% represent more women than men.
