Artist
Francis Offman
B.1987

Francis Offman works with installation and sculpture, yet his primary medium is painting. Working with various base surfaces such as jute, linen or canvas, Offman will gradually layer monochromatic pigments onto these materials and collage fragments of torn paper, ink, cotton or plaster. The paintings are not stretched or supported by wooden frames, but pinned to the wall, affording them a sense of vulnerability. Meditative and sensorial, each component of each work is meticulously considered by Offman. Perhaps the most central ingredient within Offman’s oeuvre is coffee. The artist began working with this material in 2014, using these grains as tangible vessels to reflect the cultural, political and economic relationship between Europe and Africa. Offman was born in Rwanda, and now lives in Italy after his family fled Rwanda during the civil war.
