Join us in our Shop to celebrate the launch of 'Carnets' by Johanna Tagada Hoffbeck, published by Chose Commune

Johanna Tagada Hoffbeck has been drawing in sketchbooks for as long as she can remember, in the manner of a diary to which she confides her everyday life. A daily practice that mirrors the tender care she gives to her garden, a vibrant place that plays an essential role in her life and artistic practice.

To delve into ten years of notebooks, kept from 2014 to 2024, is to encounter the abundant and multifaceted work of an artist who invites us to observe the ordinary with an insatiable appetite.

The Author

The Author

Johanna Tagada Hoffbeck (b.1990, France) is a painter, transdisciplinary artist, author and cultural practitioner based in rural Oxfordshire. Her practice, composed of painting, drawing, installation, sculpture, film, photography, writing, participatory projects, horticulture, publishing and workshops, often conceals caring, positive and ecological messages rendered in soft and delicate methods. Interaction with the environment and others is central to several of the artist’s projects.

Recent solo exhibitions include Dreaming About Tomorrow at Nidi Gallery. Recent group exhibitions include One Foot in The Sky at Contemporary Sculpture Fulmer and Edge Effects at Whitechapel Gallery.

Johanna founded the collaborative cultural deep-ecology-informed initiatives Poetic Pastel and The Gardening Drawing Club. She co-founded the publication series Journal du Thé – Contemporary Tea Culture. Between 2022/2023, she was an invited Lead Learning Artist at Camden Art Centre, developing Do Not Step on the Flowowos (Flowers).
