BIO

Brigette Hoffman was born in 1991 in Miami, fl. Where she currently lives and works. She was raised in America during the gangsta rap nineties to German and Latin American parents. Hoffman completed her BFA at The Academy of Fine Arts, Hamburg (Hochschule für Bildende Kunst Hamburg) Germany, where she began her early career. Her first institutional exhibition was held at The Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg, Germany in 2019 titled ‘ALLES KNETTEN, metamorphose eines Materials’’ (all you knead, metamorphosis of a material). A group exhibition highlighting plasticine modeling clay, one of Hoffmans’ favorite materials. The exhibition was dedicated to the fascinating uses of this material in film, art, and design, from the 1950s to contemporary pop culture. Hoffmans’ work draws on figurative sculpture, physical animation and painting. She blends references on themes like play, domesticity and the family, sexuality and identity, money and materiality, death and the divine. Her installations showcase a wide vareity of materials in order to rediscover a lost language of form and color. While her characters can appear unrestrained and wild, they simultaneously depict a childlike simplicity, frankness and innocence. Most influenced by elements of popular culture and the media, she creates surrealistically charged scenarios filled with primitive symbolism and emotion. Hoffmans mini worlds are anti-imperial and non-hierarchical. With a youthful palette, her intuitive process brings the material at hand to life.
