Industrial and Cultural Heritage exposed The main theme of his work is industrial and cultural heritage. Sources of inspiration for his paintings are abandoned and often ruinous buildings. He records these often before demolition by photographs and sketches. These are worked out in his atelier at the Vest in the historic city centre of Gouda. Use of colour and use of light make his paintings special events. Dark disconsolateness is changing into light and warmth. Regularly he adds characters into his paintings who provide another or an extra dimension to the image, like brides, monks and observers. The tension in their relation is sometimes nearly tangible. Besides the oil paint for the top layers he mostly uses acryl paint as ground-colour or priming. In several paintings he has used gold foil, acryl modelling and glazing gel. =============================== Bert Hermans is since the end of the eighties a passionate painter and he owns now an atelier at the Vest in the historic city center of Gouda. There his work consists mainly of oil paintings. His mayor theme is industrial and cultural heritage. At the beginning of his painting career he followed different courses in acryl, waterpaint and oil painting at the art school 'Stichting Kunstzinnige Vorming Rotterdam'. He further developed his technique by following courses in the atelier of Clara Miedema in Rotterdam. Bert is nominated in 2014 for title 'Painting of the year 2014' en in 2016 for the title 'Painting of the year 2016' with regard to his paintings 'Het slachthuis' and 'Don't shoot the piano player'. Bert was in december 2016 among the 50 artists who were shortlisted as finalists in Artavita’s 21st Online Art Contest and won the title 'Artist of the Month' in April 2017. |
