Ellen Hermanos Art

American
Artist Bio Hermanos received a BA in Art History from William Smith College. She studied abroad in Florence and Venice, at the Scuola Internationale di Grafica. She received a certificate in graphic design from the Massachusetts College of Art, 1992. Her influences continue in the less formal, but no less colorful New Orleans, where Hermanos often retreats, free from the structures of her past to uncover her own expressions. Hermanos’ interest in the emotional world threads not only through her art, but also her alternate career as a psychotherapist. As a therapist, she helps others to make tangible meaning of their experiences, developing compassion and value for themselves and their accomplishments. Connecting with others, she escapes the narrowness of personal introspection, giving an emotional perspective that reaches beyond the borders of self. Hermanos’ work has been featured in greater Massachusetts at The Stove Factory Gallery, Artana Gallery, Coolidge Corner, Charlesmark Hotel, Claremont Café; in Boston, MA at South End, Crystal Duell Arts, South Boston Open Studios; as well as in New Orleans, LA at Gallery Diva.The artist lives near Boston, away from the distractions and pace of Manhattan. She is a member of a group therapy practice, which also informs her artwork. She is represented by Susan Eley Fine Art and has shown with the Gallery in both its NYC and Upstate locations—most recently in the exhibition Floral Inhabited on view in Hudson, NY in 2022. Artist Statement: My interest lies in the exploration of the uses of color and the subsequent creation of texture. A brush, a palette knife, and a sponge roller lay on or remove color. My work is primarily the product of unintentional combinations of color and texture, which create new, unexpected results. Newness presents opportunity to change the direction of the work; decision-making of what parts remain and what is then reworked. Blocks of color, the anti- form, detract from a subject, in favor of color and texture. Most of my paintings have many layers. Some are finished works, then reworked, which show through the surface, insinuating another time, layer, and life.

The Midnight Riders - Large Textural Abstract Energetic Blue Artwork on Canvas
Located in Los Angeles, CA
This large textural abstract energetic artwork on canvas by Togolese artist Olympio is a unique mixed media painting with a raw and direct aesthetic, providing an unfiltered manifestation of the artist's soul. Its expressive brushstrokes and vibrant color palette and the incorporation of an additional piece of canvas to the surface add an extra dimension of texture and interest to this already captivating piece. Olympio's raw and direct approach to mixed media and collage on canvas creates a tactile experience that provides a captivating insight into the artist's creative vision. Bright, energetic marks encircle rough textures that are perfectly balanced by the peaceful compositions beneath, creating a sense of harmony and balance in this exceptional artwork. This large 48-inch high by 60-inch wide mixed media painting is signed by Olympio on the back of the canvas. The many layers in his work emphasize the texture and visceral nature of his canvases. The painting is wired and ready to hang. Free local Los Angeles delivery. Affordable U.S. and global shipping is available. A Certificate of Authenticity issued by Artplex Gallery is included. For the abstract artist Olympio, art is a dance of textures and colors, woven from an eclectic medley of canvas and textiles. Each stroke on his canvas is a nod to the classical ideals of modern abstraction, a harmonious blend of purpose and spontaneity. The linens and canvases he selects have borne witness to various conditions and interactions, embracing the imprints of their past experiences. Olympio meticulously stretches, glues, and layers these diverse fabrics together, infusing them with additional layers of acrylic paint, a fusion of careful craft and serendipitous revelation. In Olympio's art, deliberate strokes mingle with accidental splashes, forming a mesmerizing canvas that speaks to the ethos of modernism's evolution. It's a reminder that the legends of yesteryears now manifest as a distinct style, a testament to their enduring influence. His mastery over the medium amplifies, imbuing each piece with a romantic essence carefully counterbalanced by his practiced modesty. The strokes, swirling and turbulent, are immersed in a rich, opulent application of paint, akin to an expansive honeysuckle-pink landscape or a brooding soot-gray abyss. Yet within this whirlwind of impressions, Olympio maintains a sense of purpose, an elusive process that surrenders control to the animated paint and sculptural fabrics. Olympio possesses a rare duality, orchestrating the delicate balance between sensuality and subtlety within his creations. Navigating these opposing forces, he transcends distractions and attains the perfect pitch, crafting a visual symphony that resonates deeply. Olympio was born into a large family of eight children in Lomé, Togo, West Africa. He began his creating art by using building scraps to make sculptures. By the time he was in high school, he started to experiment with mixed-media and collage. He later transitioned to acrylic and oil on canvas. In 2001, Olympio left his home in Africa to live in Paris. Olympio moved to the United States in 2003 and has continued to paint. His work has been exhibited at Art Basel Miami, where in 2018 he was ranked one of the Top 10 Artists by Red Dot Miami. He was also recently interviewed for France 2, TV5Monde, and the BBC. His work has been exhibited and collected internationally.
