Electric Coffin is Coded within art history and ideologies from archetypes of mysticism.
Electric Coffin is a collaboration between Duffy De Armas and Stefan Hoffman. We explore found truths from modernity and a personal historical perspective. A process-driven studio practice and narratively informed dogma guide us, synthesizing perception through the use of created and found iconography and typography. We are inspired by a number of sources both material and ephemeral; sources encompass knowledge, culture, the physical remains of industry, mass production, communication, and commerce.
Electric Coffin is a Seattle-based collaborative art studio founded by artists Duffy De Armas and Stefan Hofmann. Their work explores the intersection of art and commerce, drawing inspiration from archetypes of mysticism, modernity, and personal history. Through a process-driven practice, they synthesize perception using created and found iconography and typography, engaging with materials ranging from industrial remnants to elements of mass production and communication. Electric Coffin's dynamic compositions and bold use of color invite viewers to reconsider the boundaries between artistic expression and commercial culture.
