About the Item
“Naxos”- from Kurt Herrmann’s Color Bomb series. Naxos is a Greek island in the
Aegean well known for its Cycladic history and culture. This piece riffs on the art of
this historic region above and below the sea along with the voluptuous pottery and
sculpture that originated on Naxos and the nearby islands in the Aegean. Acrylic on
canvas, wired and ready to hang.
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, his current gallery representation includes Anala
Art ( Sydney, Australia ), 12 Gallery ( Auckland, New Zealand ), Penny Contemporary
( Hobart, Australia ), Yard Dog Gallery ( Austin, TX ), James Oliver Gallery
( Philadelphia, PA), and now Sozo Gallery in Charlotte, NC. 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.
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.
