Pat Hoffie’s career as an artist spans over five decades. Ambitious and expansive, cross-cultural and interdisciplinary, Hoffie’s practice frequently addresses themes of power and postcolonial legacies through consistently centring on aspects of the human experience.

Hoffie’s ‘I have loved/I love/I will love’ presents the artist’s first extensive body of work in printmaking. Engaging with printmaking’s historical legacy in transmitting images of human conflict, these works draw from the socially mediatised imagery Hoffie has described as interminably running on as ‘the background to my days’. She transforms scenes she has witnessed through the media by using techniques that combine monoprint, drypoint, digital technologies, and found materials.

‘I have loved/I love/I will love’ is a free exhibition on display in Gallery 14, QAG, from August 2025 to February 2026. To make the most of your visit, check the exhibition dates, find information on getting here and parking, and find out about Gallery accessibility.
