Beatrice Hoffman creates abstract and figurative sculptures, suited to domestic, large interiors and garden spaces; she recently completed a large-scale commission for a hospital.
Originally from Germany, she lives near Oxford, and exhibits widely throughout both the UK and Europe. With her stylish and elegant sculptures, Beatrice Hoffman achieves simplicity and abstraction, Searching for contrast between edges, rounded and hollowed planes, she is fascinated by "strong three dimensional form".
She seeks psychological depth, and is drawn to meaningful themes on the interface of mythology, psychology and spirituality: inner strength, serenity, human identity and relationships, trust, tenderness, ambivalence and love.She hopes to enable engagement and contemplation: for the viewer to find reflected in her sculptures a feeling or experience, and through this silent communion find empathy, beauty and peace. This is what makes her sculptures so perfectly suited for being lived and interacted with on a daily basis, in the house, the garden or a public space.
