Biography
Under the tutelage of Bauhaus Master Herbert Bayer, Hobson’s adherence to a philosophy of the union of art and design are expressed in his public artworks and paintings. He has served on 31 design teams, successfully completed over 40 public and private art projects and received numerous awards and recognition for his work including an Orchid Design Award for Fine Art for a Metropolitan Transit System project and as a selected artist honored for creative depictions of water in public space by the Metropolitan Water District.
Diminished public art opportunities during the Covid pandemic provided the opportunity for him to shift his focus to studio work focusing on oil painting. He majored in art, concentrating on painting, during his college years and further broadened his painting skills as studio assistant to Bauhaus Master Herbert Bayer. His work focuses on landscapes, architecture and travel-inspired impressions and his gallery exhibitions include: Benefit for Los Angeles Artists Affected by the Wildfires - Union Hall Gallery, San Diego, CA, Juried Biennial - William D. Cannon Art Gallery, Carlsbad, CA., Minis Show - Sparks Gallery, San Diego, CA., IYASI 癒し / Healing: What did you create in the Time of Coronavirus - Inamori Pavilion, Japanese Friendship Garden, Balboa Park, San Diego, CA and Small Images Show San Dieguito Art Guild
Statement
I have been developing a series of small oil paintings featuring homes in North Park, South Park, and Golden Hill. As a South Park resident for over 30 years, I’m inspired by these neighborhoods’ tree-lined streets and eclectic architecture.
