Lightbrights Exhibition by Kurt Herrmann; Wagner College, 1 Campus Road, The Wagner College Gallery presents Lightbrights, an exhibition of 13 oil and acrylic panels by Kurt Herrmann. The thirteen pieces in this show are very abstract, says Herrmann, but their origins are very specific. The base colors always set the tone. For instance, Sylvan Carnival has a deep mossy green ground the comes directly from looking at, and living in, the mountains of central Pennsylvania. It locks the time in place- late spring. All the strokes the come after are more individual- referencing the warmth of the season, birds, flowers, sun. Herrmann, who is currently based in rural central Pennsylvania, has exhibited nationally and internationally since graduating from Lock Haven University in 1995.
