Stanley Hermans, born in
1963, lives and works in Cape Town, South Africa, where
he has completed three significant public commissions. He left
UCT in 1991 with an MA in painting, and since then has had eight
solo exhibitions.
After
stints as the art critic and columnist for the Cape Times,
Hermans initiated a writing project in partnership
with the HSRC that brought to the public’s attention South
Africa’s better and lesser known iconic artists in the
form of full page interviews with the likes of Nadine Gordimer,
Helen Sebidi, Hugh Masekela, Nesta Nala, Sam Nghlengetwa, David
Koloane, Jay Pather, Sibongile Khumalo and others. He has illustrated
two children’s books and is currently completing a
novel.
He works in a range of genre, including the representational
or figurative, as in the still life, peopled and metaphorical
interiors, the landscape, and pure abstractions.
