Michael Hoffee/Francesco Garieri Collaboration
Another collaboration initiated by Michael Hoffee, this
painting combines the visions of Francesco Garieri on the left with the
work of Hoffee on the right. Starting in France with the hand of Garieri,
the seven foot x seven foot painting made it's way half-done to Hoffee in
California. Dual titled Totem of the Insane/Dance with Bulls, the
painting mixes house paint, acrylic, oil stick, marker, stuck paper, canvas pieces, and graffiti. The art has made a home here at the Ioema
Collection through the unique generosity of both artists. This painting is
one of three the Hoffee/Garieri combination created. Hoffee kept one and
Garieri kept the other. Garieri has credited the Hoffee contact and
collaboration with a renewed fire of painterly energy Garieri now lives
in. For the other Hoffee inspired collaboration in the Ioema collection
