"Tomorrow's Another Day" is featured in my Anatomically Incorrect solo show that opens TOMORROW, Friday September 17th at @umagalleryoakland -the former embalming room of a retired funeral parlor now known at Mosswood Chapel in Oakland (3630 Telegraph Avenue). Come see for yourself the details in his forlorn wingspan made from two deer ribs, cuckoo clock chain and rusty wire straps. The reception takes place 5-8pm and I'd love to share all 17 of my assemblage pieces in the show with you. #oakland #oaklandartshow #oaklandexhibition #tomorrowsanotherday #assemblageart #assemblagaeartist #foundobjectart #savethedate #remainhopeful #umagallery #mosswoodchapel #anatomicallyincorrect #diannehoffmanart (at Oakland, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CT40zdvFdOM/?utm_medium=tumblr

The devil is in the detail of this assemblage titled “Misgiven” including the skeletal arms that outreach to the angelic face ready to pull down its demon mask. This piece is a music box that spins around to a haunting toon making the razor blades inside sway around its dangling crystal heart. Come see for yourself at my solo show ANATOMICALLY INCORRECT open at Uma Gallery in Oakland this Friday night 5-8pm.

I imagined how I could bring to life a visual representation of an itchy palm. You know.....like when your palms itch and superstitious people say that it means money is either on its way to you or on its way out? 🤑And this piece, 'A Tender Itch' is the result of that. So many people have feen allured by those spiky thorns protruding from that hand carving. This piece is now featured in my Anatomically Incorrect solo show at Uma Gallery in Mosswood Chapel, 3630 Telegraph Ave in Oakland. Come witness its magick this Friday night 9/17/21 at my opening reception 5-8pm! #itchypalm #tenderitch #handcarving #assemblageart #assemblageartists #foundobjectart #umagallery #artopening #oaklandartevent #mosswoodchapel #diannehoffmanart #savethedate #superstition #handofthorns #moneycomesandgoes #verysuperstitious (at Oakland, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTzoEjHlnCO/?utm_medium=tumblr

I am so excited to hang my new solo show this week at @umagalleryoakland. Be sure to give this new gallery a follow and spread the word that there's an awesome new art space in Oakland!!! They have been a pleasure to work with and wrote an impressive press release for the show: UMA Gallery is pleased to present “ANATOMICALLY INCORRECT”, a solo exhibition of mixed‐media assemblages by San Francisco based artist Dianne Hoffman. Using found objects and recycled materials, Hoffman creates intimately scaled, three‐dimensional tableaux that give new life and meaning to discarded items. Further embellished with collage and other traditional media, each assemblage tells a story that reflects the artist’s curiosity, compassion, and sense of humor. Hoffman’s work is characterized by muted and earthy colors, creating whispers of nostalgia from these artifacts left over from another time. ANATOMICALLY INCORRECT is UMA Gallery’s first solo‐artist exhibition in the repurposed embalming studio of the Mosswood Chapel, a former mortuary located at 3630 Telegraph Ave, in the Lower Temescal district of Oakland CA. UMA Gallery is also the producer of Unkle Morty’s Pop‐Ups, a monthly market of independent arts & crafts vendors held on the First Saturday of each month in the same location. Unkle Morty is a co‐creation of Donna Davis and John Warner. Exhibition Dates / Times Exhibition Dates: September 4 – September 29, 2021. Artist Reception: Friday, September 17, 5:00 – 7:00pm. Location Mosswood Chapel, 3630 Telegraph Avenue, Oakland CA 94609 #umagallery #oaklandgallery #oaklandartevent #oaklandart #assemblageart #assemblageartists #diannehoffmanart #assemblageexhibition #artshow #artexhibition #artexhibit #darkart #foundobjectart #recycledobjects #foundobjects #Eastbay #anatomicallyincorrect #honoringanimalsinart #embalmingroom #mosswoodchapel #savethedate (at Oakland, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTLLBCjB5cF/?utm_medium=tumblr
