THE ARTIST

NEEHO

“If you seek the perfect, you may get the monotonous...”

Asked why he painted Campbell’s Soup tins, Andy Warhol said: “I wanted to paint nothing. I was looking for something that was the essence of nothing, and the soup can was it.”

Warhol, who transformed the mundane into the special, fame into art, and the ephemeral into something much longer-lasting, was the artist who gave a new meaning to the thousand-year old technique of serigraphy – screen printing – causing something antique and forgotten for centuries to precisely translate the meaning of modern times, the American dream of consumption, the acceptance of the artificial to the detriment of the natural.

Nelson Hohmann is inspired by Warhol’s use of silkscreen – he sees it as the most versatile of the techniques of printmaking, providing many resources than only it can achieve. “The use, for example, of photography and computing, printing on multiple surfaces, large formats, reproduction in series – open up infinite perspective for its use,” he says.

He works with chance. His researches are into the use of multiple consecutive silkscreen impressions on the base material. Successive layers of multicolored paints, and the filling of all the space, use a casual means to create a pictorial field. He says: “If you seek the perfect, you may get the monotonous.” His silkscreen work inevitably reminds us of the leading US abstract Expressionist Jackson Pollock, who became known for his unique style of painting by drops, flipping rows of droplets onto canvas, again employing, and resulting in, the by-chance. Hohmann makes us immerse ourselves in a profusion of pulsating colors that are almost a Big Bang. A Festival of hues.

Born in 1966 in Curitiba (Paraná State), his first artistic influences came from his family. He recalls that his paternal grandfather, a German immigrant who arrived in Brazil, in the early 20^th century, left the taste and the tradition for music and painting to his descendants, including Nelson’s father. So he lived among both music and painting. He says that in the school break he would group his co-pupils to scribble and draw – a habit that grew over time.

Hohmann has a degree in the visual arts from the Faculdade de Artes do Paraná (FAP), with a postgraduate degree in the history of modern and contemporary art from the Escola de Belas Artes do Paraná. Since the 1980s he has participated in innumerable salons and exhibitions in Brazil. In the USA he has taken part in the International Print Exhibition at the Portland Museum of Art, and exhibited in the 2010 exhibition “Parallel Universes”, part of the Mid-America Print Council Conference at the University of Minnesota. In Brazil, he has works in the collections of the Fundação Biblioteca Nacional (National Library Foundation) of Rio de Janeiro, and the Art Museum of the University of Paraná (MUSA); and in the US, at the Portland Art Museum and the Weisman Art Museum of the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis.
