Florid Frida, 2025
acrylic on canvas
610 x 610 mm

Both of the works I created for LOADED are firmly in the Colour Bomb vein that celebrates the power of shape and color.  Over the years this series has walked the line between pure minimal abstraction and veering off into work that is suggestive of something anthropological and a touch whimsical.  These works belong to the latter group of more playful compositions where something identifiable is suggested, but still open to a wide range of interpretation.

Kurt Hermann Bio 

Kurt Herrmann (b. 1972, Lock Haven, USA) is a painter from the Appalachian
Mountains of Pennsylvania who does both figurative and abstract work, but above all is
a colourist at heart. Two of his recent shows were featured in Time Out Chicago and the Philadelphia Inquirer, with recent shows in Tasmania (Penny Contemporary), New
Orleans (Octavia Gallery), San Francisco (Upstart Modern), Saint Louis (Houska
Gallery), and Philadelphia (James Oliver Gallery). His work is in prominent collections
across the US, Australia, New Zealand and Europe, including Capitol One Corporate
Headquarters (Wilmington, DE), Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (New York,
NY), and Temple University (Philadelphia, PA). Recent commissions include large work
for Hotel Del Coronado (San Diego, CA), and a line of beer labels for Elk Creek Café +
Aleworks (Millheim, PA). Although his exhibition schedule is increasingly international,
Herrmann’s rural Pennsylvania roots continue to influence his work.
