Description
Emerald City is part of Hermione’s ‘Modern Architecture’ series which focuses on subjects such as light, translucence, and dimension. Although inspired by her trips to Japan in 2013 and 2016, the vibrant greens of the painting made her think of a fictional city suggested by the sensation conjured up by the word « Emerald ». She explores relationships between colour and perspective and captures these by overlaying multiple layers of oil paint creating a balance of translucent and opaque shapes. The paintings comprise three panels backed by plywood to create a sculptural quality to her work. Colours are reflected from the inner edges of the divisions within the paintings, playing on the tension created by the juxtaposition of the precise, physical divisions between the unyielding, hard wood exterior with the soft, hand painted surfaces.
