Colleen Hoffenbacker is featured in the virtual exhibition Emergence for her unique floral work, which resonates deeply with the show’s theme of visual renewal. Her recent explorations with AI-enhanced methods further expand the dialogue between traditional art, organic form and digital process, adding a contemporary layer to the exhibition’s focus on growth and transformation. Emergence is a curated celebration of new beginnings, thoughtfully organized by Jessica Libor of Era Contemporary Gallery for Visionary Art Collective in New York City.
Drawing inspiration from nature, art history, and spiritual references, each piece in the collection reflects transformation through vibrant color, layered detail, and material innovation. From abstract paintings to sensual sculptures, the works invite viewers to explore cycles of renewal and interconnectedness. This exhibition honors the beauty of new life and the infinite possibilities that arise when artists engage with change, care, and creative reinvention.
Exhibition Statement
“In this exhibition, we’re celebrating the true definition of emergence - a process of coming into being. For many artists, the creative practice provides a space for new ideas and discoveries to surface, grow, and materialize. Whether it be a painting, sculpture, photograph, or installation, art has the innate ability to turn the metaphysical into the physical. This virtual exhibit is a culmination of representational, figurative, abstract, and conceptual work.”
Curator Statement
“Drawing inspiration from nature, art history, and spiritual references, each piece in this collection embodies the essence of new beginnings. From colorful abstract paintings to intricate artworks and sensual sculptures, every work of art tells a unique story of Emergence.”
