“Our inseparable entanglement with nature, despite and beyond all attempts at culturalization, is the central theme of my painting”.

“We tend to forget to see ourselves as part of nature, focusing solely on its domestication and subjugation. Our inseparable entanglement with nature, despite and beyond all attempts at culturalization, is the central theme of my painting”.

Biography

Harald Hermann (1976) started his artistic career in his hometown, in the south of Germany, when he was 17. From there, he worked his way up as an autodidact to the top of Berlin’s contemporary fine art galleries. He left his last station, Galerie Crone Berlin – where he was represented next to artists like Rosemarie Trockel, Hanne Darboven, Norbert Bisky, Imi Knoebel, and Bernd Koberling – to work with art agent Anna Jill Lüpertz (the daughter of one of Germany’s most famous contemporary painters, Markus Lüpertz).

Through the years, he was represented by his different galleries on international art fairs, such as FIAC Paris, The Armory Show New York, Freeze London, Artforum Berlin, Art Basel. He was part of the internationally renowned group show „I am a Berliner“, curated by Marc Gisbourne, on the city’s contemporary painting scene, next to painters like Katharina Grosse, Gregor Hildebrandt, Ruprecht von Kaufmann, and Peter Stauss (at Tel Aviv Museum of Art, Croatian Association of Artists Zagreb, and more). He has now been represented by the Portuguese Gallery Movart based in Lisbon (solo exhibition „The Floraissance has begun“, 2023).
