my faith don't mean a thing Pat Hoffie’s forthcoming exhibition My Faith Don’t Mean A Thing will showcase recent works by this highly accomplished Brisbane-based artist. On display at FireWorks Gallery will be twelve modest sized paintings. These works continue the theme portrayed throughout Hoffie’s work in recent years; the viewer is questioned about their deeper notions of home, whether it be homesickness or simply the yearning for one’s homeland in contemporary Australian life.

The original artwork was painted in 2001 on a large 2.5m canvas that had an ochre + gravel textured background providing a particular gritty texture, thus amplifying the shatter marks of the paint splashes – a feature certainly acknowledged in the finished rug design. |
