Kyle Hermanson
Bio:
Kyle Hermanson, artist and published illustrator, who in recent years
turned his talents to acrylic and glass painting in contemporary and abstract
styles. He is the recipient of many awards, including three-time winner,
best-in-state in the Aeronautics Art Competition of Minnesota.
Kyle is a native of Montevideo, MN. After two years at the Montevideo
high school, he transferred to the Perpich Center for Arts Education,
located in Golden Valley, MN, where he graduated with honors. He has studied
art at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design, WI, and is currently
studying art at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design where he plans
to further his experiences and find a career in the world of art.
Entitled: The Everything Show, the work on display shows the
dynamic and stylistic range of Kyle's work. Ranging from landscapes to
illustrative portraits, impressionistic to somewhat surreal, all the work
has at least one thing in common: a sense of narrative. Through the use
of different mediums and styles, every painting creates a critique of
a particular expressive mood. Taken for granted most of the time, the
focus on "the sense of place" really dominates the theme of
this show. The overall goal of this particular show was to tell as many
unique stories as possible.
Working in several mediums ranging from sculpting lard to creating oil
relief paintings, Kyle believes that by not focusing in on one particular
medium, his ability to express his ideas through art increases. His subjects
are also of a wide range. He has created series of works capturing human
emotions and their relationship to color, realistic depictions of figures
and cityscapes, and the abstract theories of time, energy, and music -
specifically jazz. Although Kyle has worked in a multitude of mediums,
he prefers working with acrylics over any other medium due to their versatility
and color quality.
Kyle's career has only just begun, however, he has continuously moved
to greater heights. His work has been exhibited in these Metro locations:
Patrick's Cabaret, the Ford Center Gallery, NSP/Excel Energy corporate
offices, University of Minnesota - McNamarara Alumni Center, Perpich Center
for Arts Education Gallery, The Melting Pot Gallery, and the Minnesota
State Capitol Building. Kyle's work is also on continuous display at the
Stable Art Gallery at Madden's Resort on Gull Lake, near Brainerd. He
has also shown his work at the Layton Gallery of Art, Milwaukee, Wisconsin,
as well as several other locations in the Milwaukee area.
"My desire is to create art that celebrates nature, life, and music
through the simplification, distortion, and amplification of color, form,
and movement."
