About the Item

About the series COLOR BOMBS I want the Color Bombs to be beacons of positivity that can radiate across the room or whisper quietly beside you. I love the freedom and openness of color. These works don’t bring any baggage or hidden agenda. Lately, I’ve been realizing how tied each piece is to the landscape and season outside my window. I am constantly feeding on the wild nature where I live, and it feels like I am mentally taking millions of pictures of what is happening outside and instantly trying to distill those images into absolute color. Almost as if I was zooming in and plucking out the solid pixels of pure color that speak the season just right. Sometimes it is literal and other times it is my memory that dictates. Because sometimes in the depths of winter I am thinking so much of Spring that I may riff on the orange-red of a May Poppy. The memory bank of images is always changing and old and new are interchangeable. Sometimes they are ecstatic and full of verve and edge – like a saxophone exploding out of nowhere, or the sublime wail of a guitar rattling the windows. But other times they search for silence and quiet, and all the notes not played. They are like songs composed of shape and line that bask in the presence of absolute color representing nothing but themselves. Kurt Herrmann is a painter from central Pennsylvania who does both figurative and abstract work but above all is a colorist at heart. Although he continues working and living close to his roots in Pennsylvania. The past few years have seen solo and group shows at the Shoom Gallery in St. Petersburg, Russia, The Baikmin Museum of Bosung Gun (South Korea), and Sidewinder Gallery and Firecat Projects (Chicago). Recent projects include three large commissions for Lock Haven University’s recently renovated Ulmer Hall, and 2017 saw the creation of his sixth beer label for Elk Creek Café + Aleworks in Millheim, PA.

  • EQUIVALENCE 124- Acrylic on cut Linen - Red, Pink Abstract Geometric Painting
    By Linda King Ferguson
    Located in Signal Mountain, TN
    This painting on cut linen canvas by Linda King Ferguson depicts a diamond shape that is dominated by a horizontal vesica piscis shape. The two intersecting circles are a dark salmon orange and a deep wine red (left to right). The canvas at the intersection of the two circles has been cut and peeled back to reveal that the back of the painting has been painted pink. While the trangular shape above the interseccting circles has been painted an ashy brown, the lower section has been left raw. Her Equivalence Series began as a feminist project; works that subvert the historically male gaze and a material language speaking of gendered concerns. Her color choices first came from Helen Molesworth’s essay, Painting With Ambivalence, published in WACK! Art of the Feminist Revolution. The Essay includes a large reproduction of Mary Heilmann’s 1979 painting...
