Meet Kurt Herrmann
Stepping into Herrmann's visual world is like discovering a hidden dimension where colors don't simply exist—they pulse, breathe, and converse. His canvases seduce the eye with audaciously vibrant hues that seem to generate their own light source. Herrmann offers color combinations so unpredictable yet perfect they trigger an immediate response—a visual indulgence you know you should resist but find yourself surrendering to completely.
"I want the Color Bombs to radiate across the room but to also whisper quietly beside you."
Color Bombs:
"I want big sound and silence. Many of my shapes, forms and colors have been extracted from the mountains of Pennsylvania where I live and work, but I also sample bits and pieces of memories and places I’ve never been. There are trunks of trees, winter skies, deer legs, the pink from a summer watermelon and Greek islands I’ve always wanted to see – these are some of the sparks that start a painting but they are not the whole story. The initial inspiration is simply a launch pad to shoot a rocket off into the unknown. Color does not need to represent anything other than itself. It is universal yet nothing is more personal. And that’s how I present these paintings. I’m distilling something that struck me , but the interpretations and feelings others come away with are infinite."
