about

Hermione Carline is a London based artist working mainly with oil on wood, exploring themes of light and transience, creating works that are drawn from memories of fleeting moments, the shape and feeling of them.

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.

Collaborations have included projects with Claridge’s Hotel and Visto Images, and she has won awards for her innovation and skill. Hermione has also been involved in art education throughout her working life. As a visiting lecturer at Brighton College of Art, Hermione was inspired to establish Art-Atelier in 1993, running classes for nurturing creativity, which continue successfully to this day.

“There is a satisfying complexity to Hermione’s work. Nuanced and layered, both literally and figuratively, it moves in and out of abstraction. Beyond the exquisite delicacy of the paintings there is a beguiling quality, in that behind a physical world we might recognise in the shape of a chair or a window, for example, there is a view towards an ethereal unknown. An intangible place that may or may not be outside.” Jackie naffah

"Hermione's works make beautiful and considered statements on contemporary abstraction. Borrowing references from ancient Asian architecture and textiles, her paintings composed of layered fragments, convey a sense of fragility that is both enchanting yet powerful." ADRIANA MARQUES, Curator of Rise Art
