Electric Coffin is a Seattle-based artist collaboration between Duffy De Armas and Stefan Hofmann. Their work is coded within art history and ideologies from archetypes of mysticism. They explore found truths from modernity and a personal historical perspective. A process-driven studio practice and narratively informed dogma guides them, synthesizing perception through the use of created and found iconography and typography. Inspired by a number of sources both material and ephemeral; sources which encompass knowledge, culture, the physical remains of industry, mass production, communication, and commerce, Electric Coffin creates works that generally comment on socio-economic and environmental concerns as well as reclaiming a sense of spirituality and connection with nature in the Anthropocene era. Adept at humorously transforming the "lowbrow" into fine art, EC reshapes the slogans of mass commercial advertising into a language that communicates introspection into our deeper human natures and connection to each other and the world. Electric Coffin have exhibited extensively nationally and internationally, including a large multi-media installation at the Museum of Museums, Seattle and exhibitions at Bellevue Art Museum, Bellevue WA; Wynwood Walls, Miami FL; Scope Art Fair, Miami; and Dong Gallery, Taipei. Their work is in the private collection of the Ren Building in Seattle and they have commissioned installs for Facebook, Expedia, T-Mobile, among many others.
