Stardust Reflection - Limited Edition of 25 Artwork

Hermione Carline is a multimedia artist creating works on paper, oil paintings and digital collage prints from her studio in London. She explores themes of light and transience, creating works that are drawn from memories of fleeting moments. Impermanence and ambiguity interest her and her way of translating ideas and memories has been to explore subjects through fragmentation of images using semi-opaque and transparent layers of colour. By imagining impossible spaces and landscapes in unreal colours, light and shadow, tension and balance are important qualities in her art practice. She creates work that has a three-dimensional quality that draws the viewer into the world of the picture itself. Hermione has taken much of her inspiration from her extensive travels in the Far East, becoming interested in the use of screening and light in Japanese architecture after her first trip to Japan. She is drawn to subjects of nature and architecture, the interplay of the outside and inside, where one world seems to morph into the other. There is an ephemeral quality where subjects can be seen simultaneously as windows and doors, trees merge into architectural structures, a setting caught in a moment of time as a form of fusion between time and space. Hermione was born into a family of artists and studied Fine Art at Camberwell School of Art followed by an MA in Textile Design at the Royal College of Art. She co-founded a textile company, The Collection, where her designs were sold to leading fashion houses including Pierre Cardin, Christian Dior, and Ralph Lauren. Hermione returned to painting in 2004, though her love of fabric and design shines on through her work. Presently she is in her third year of the artist led painting program at Turps Art School. She has also been involved in art education throughout her working life. As a visiting lecturer at Brighton College of Art, she was inspired to establish Art-Atelier in 1993, running classes for nurturing creativity, which continue successfully to this day. Hermione has won awards for her innovation and skill. She has completed collaborations with the Mayo Clinic and Claridge’s Hotel; she has exhibited widely and shown regularly with The Other Art Fair and the Affordable Art Fair. Her work can be found in private collections in the UK and overseas.
