This is a watercolor series that I started after moving to Sugar Valley in rural central Pennsylvania in August 2006. Without being overly representational these paintings riff on the seasons and countryside rural Appalachia. Nature is inexhaustible. It possesses infinite mood, is always changing, and routinely shocks and pleases. Living and working where I do now has expanded how and what I can feel. These paintings are the result of pushing myself and my work into places I didn't know existed. The series title, "Kolinsky Mamas", stems from the fact that I met my wife while studying in Siberia, which is the source of the famed Kolinsky sable, whose hairs make up the brush of the same name. The "Mamas" part of the title is there because my wife's mother bought me my first large Kolinsky sable which started this whole series.

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), Auckland ( 12 Gallery ), Philadelphia ( James Oliver Gallery), and Charlotte ( Sozo 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. “I’m very aware of the fact that even if a painting was initially inspired by something exotic, or an extremely personal event on the other side of the planet, all my work is filtered through my studio in the hills of Appalachia,” he explains. “The colours, silence, space, seasons, landscape, even the rednecks impact everything I make. It’s inescapable.”
