Time does not seem to affect the art of Germaine Hoffmann (*1930). For almost fifty years, the Luxembourgish artist has been producing works of art born from her need to create and react to the world which surrounds her – whether of an intimate nature or with a far greater reach. Her collages and other mixed techniques are adept combinations of exploration, experimentation, and chance. Newspapers collected and ripped with colours and varnish continually (re)worked, elements making up Germaine Hoffmann’s works of art, once assembled into a composition, show an individuality and intensity which breathes the artist’s very thirst for creation and knowledge. As she liberated herself from trends and influences from her debut, Germaine Hoffmann’s works of art move and unfurl in a permanent contemporaneity.
