Andrew Hoffman uses a classical medium to depict modern themes.

As a graphic designer, Andrew Hoffman often finds himself “on the computer, doing really modern, visual graphic design.” So he describes his upcoming art show at the Shoppe, Oxymoron, as “kind of a reaction against myself, in a way. A digital designer doing classical oil paintings which also have contemporary themes. It’s all contradictory.”
But using a classical medium to depict modern motifs works well for Hoffman, who’s got the technical skills to create oil paintings unlike any you’ve ever seen before…such as “Bittersweet,” Hoffman’s piece depicting little soldiers (apparently made of chocolate) marching on a marshmallow territory, some of them melting all over the white, sugary lumps in pools of liquid chocolate -- or is it blood?
Oxymoron opens tonight at the Shoppe, 3103 East Colfax Avenue, with a reception from 7 to 10 p.m.; the show remains on display through June 30. For information, call the Shoppe at 303-322-3969; for more about Hoffman, visit http://andrewhoffmandesign.com.
