HERMAN’S BIOGRAPHY
2020 Artist Statement 2020 was the first full year of my retirement after over 40 years of working with my family. We didn’t get to celebrate for long, we were struck by a world wide pandemic in March and locked tightly down with a ton of fear.Those first few months of the pandemic left me scrambling to secure all of my digital files and duplicate them on multiple drives. I felt like the 30 potential years ahead of me were now 90 days. I used every minute of the time to build my legacy and make sure my kids had something to dig into, their past. Once the pandemic was in full swing and we had some semblance of order in the form of vaccines we bought a small 21-foot RV van. Together, my wife and I enjoyed the intimacy of living closely together for a week or so on the way to Colorado. Once there, we helped our son move into a new home. I stayed in Colorado, while my wife went home to deal with a flood at our primary residence. I did not expect to stay 5 months. During that time I built a music room with 20 original paintings that double as sound treatment; a 90-foot concrete retention wall; a few large oil paintings; and two ceramic pieces. It was a very pro- ductive time. I love Colorado and the whole region. The van opened up many possibilities for my art. Having a van is something I never experienced before. On that trip, I explored from Colorado to Utah and back through Wyoming. At a place called Bear Lake on the border of Utah and Idaho, I felt the exquisite peace of the cool mountain air, while I slept warmly, under the covers. This was the first time in years I was able to let go and just feel the joy of living. I was finally feeling retired. It was there that I also analyzed the landscape, separated the colors and shapes, and found a new kind of painting I call Vector Painting. It is the perfect culmination of my style. And the landscapes... What I ended up making was unexpected and remarkable. You will soon see. I started a whole new style of highly saturated, simplified land studies using a combination of Inktense Watercolor Pencils, Guache, and the iPad Pro with the iPencil. A major painting was completed during the year called Bear Creek. It was completed on a cold night after a music festival at our campsite.

DEAD TREE SKETCHES
PRIMORDIAL SEA, WAS CONCEIVED DURING A LIVE PAINTING SES- SION AT THE B-GREAT, 2020, END OF YEAR CONCERT HELD IN MAR- GATE, FLORIDA DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. THE STAGE WAS OUTDOORS. THE PATRONS REMAINED IN THEIR CARS LISTENING TO FM RADIO. THE SHOW WAS BROADCAST LOCALLY. THE ARTIST PAINTED WHILE THE STAGE LIGHTS FLASHED MULTIPLE COLORS. THOSE LIGHTS MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE THE COLORS DURING THE EVENT. THE PAINTING WAS AWARDED TO PATRICIA GULATI AND NOAH CONTI OF LIGHTHOUSE POINT, FL. THE PAINTING WAS COMPLETED AFTER THE SHOW IN THE ARTISTS STUDIO. THE COMPOSITION IS ORGANIC. A BLUE SEA WITH A SILVER HORI-
ZON CONTAINS SHAPES RANGING FROM PINK TO GREEN WITH SOME PURPLE AND YELLOW HUES. OVALS ARE USED INTENTION- ALLY, SOME WITH CAREFULLY PAINTED DOUBLE LINES. THESE SHAPES COME FROM THE ARTIST’S EXTENSIVE FAMILIARITY WITH NORTHWEST INDIGENOUS ART. BECAUSE THE SHAPES LACK THE FIGURATIVE NATURE OF NW INDIAN ART THEY INSTEAD REPRE- SENT SOMETHING MORE BASIC, SOMETHING PRIMORDIAL. BECAUSE THE PAINTING WAS CONCEIVED AT NIGHT, THE SKY IS PITCH BLACK WITH STYLIZED CLOUDS AND STARS TO GIVE THE VIEWER PERSPECTIVE AND SCALE.

THE CONCEPT IS TO BE ABLE TO SWITCH THIS IMAGE TO A BLACK AND WHITE IMAGE WHILE THE SHAPES DISAPPEAR. IT WORKS ON THE COMPUTER BUT NOT ON A PRINTER.

The AURORA Music Room
SHOOSTY DESIGN, CREATED AN ACOUSTICALLY-SEALED, ARTISTICALLY CREATED, MUSIC ROOM. IT INCLUDES RESIL- IENT CHANNEL WALLS AND CEILING, AREA RUG, SOUND DEFLECTION PANELS, AND TWO TYPES OF SOUND ABSORB- TION PANELS, ONE FOR TREBLE AND MID-TONES AND THE OTHER FOR BASS. ONCE COMPLETED A SET OF PAINTINGS WAS ALSO CREATED BASED ON THE RESULTS.
RESILIENT CHANNEL CREATES A SOUND BARRIER AROUND A SPACE. THE CHAN- NEL ALLOWS THE DRYWALL TO FLOAT OVER THE SURFACE. MAKING IT DIFFI- CULT FOR SOUND TO ESCAPE.
COMPLETED EXAMPLES OF THE FRAMED ILLUSTRATION

MUSIC DISTRIBUTION PANELS MADE OF ANGLED WOOD REFLECT SOUND ALL OVER THE INTERIOR TO BREAK UP THE SOUND.
THE SOUND IS THEN CAPTURED BY ABSORBION PANELS THAT ARE COVERED WITH ART WORK. THERE ARE TWO TYPES. ONE FOR TREBLE AND MID-RANGE AND THE OTHER FOR BASS.
