Johanna Tagada Hoffbeck

Born in France and now based in rural Oxfordshire, Johanna Tagada Hoffbeck is a painter, transdisciplinary artist and cultural practitioner. Her practice composed of painting, drawing, installation, sculpture, film, photography and writing often conceals ecological messages, rendered in soft and delicate methods. Her recent solo exhibitions include Dreaming about Tomorrow at Nidi Gallery and Caring & Tender – A Painter’s Photographic Diary at Terrace Square Photo Tokyo.

In 2014 Hoffbeck founded the positive and collaborative cultural project Poetic Pastel and in 2018 co-founded the publication series Journal du Thé – Contemporary Tea Culture. Coming from a family of passionate gardeners, Hoffbeck received horticultural training in France and England, and in 2021 she founded The Gardening Drawing Club. Together with Simon Roth she created the installation Ground & Sound for our Queen Elizabeth Hall Roof Garden, part of 2023’s Planet Summer.
