Marietta Hoferer is a New York-based artist. Hoferer makes drawings that create luminous and beguiling optical effects through the refraction of light on their surfaces. Although the drawings begin with a preconceived structure of precise grids, the artist deliberately invites the interaction of chance, intuition, and imperfection as she works.

Hoferer was born in Germany and studied at Hunter College in New York and at St. Martins School of Art and Design in London before receiving an MFA from Universität der Künste in Berlin. Recent exhibitions include KunstBuroBerlin, Berlin; Smack Mellon, Brooklyn, New York; The Drawing Center, New York; and the 2009 International Incheon Women Artists’ Biennale in Seoul, Korea.
