MIGRANT WORKER Print

Born in Brazil into a multicultural Afro-Lebanese-Japanese family, Hermusche studied Biology at the University of Brasilia, though he eventually abandoned his studies. During the 80’s was fully engaged in painting and graphic arts. His first abstract expressionist paintings were made in the 1984 in a series named “The Bellicose Spirit and the Peace Bomb,” establishing the conceptual foundation of his work. In the following years he presented his works in Nicaragua, Spain, Canada, Holland and Germany, while simultaneously working as an art director for documentaries for Brazilian TV. He lived in Germany from 1986 to 1998. Between 1999-2015 Hermusche lived between Germany and Brazil, creating thematic exhibitions and publishing books on Brazilian art & culture, and the avian fauna of the Amazon basin. During this period his works were shown in Brazil, Moscow, Lisbon, México, Seoul and Beijing while representing Brazil in international fairs.
