Artist Statement
Sunlit City is part of a new series of paintings inspired by walks along the Thames footpaths during lockdown. Hermione’s inspiration is drawn from architecture and the natural world from which she translates experiences as snapshots of her memories. Through her artistic approach and way of observing, she interprets three-dimensional forms as abstract shapes, portraying memory as she experiences it both viscerally and sensorially.
The skyrise architecture in Sunlit City is expressed as a series of cubic shapes reflected in the water. Tower blocks are hinted at with suggestions of windows and structures.
Hermione paints directly in multilayers of oil on a birch plywood box panel. She brushes the sides in a colour gradient to reflect the mood of the painting itself. As seen from different angles, the painting takes on a sculptural form and the picture can be hung framed or unframed.

Artist Profile
Hometown: London
Based in: London
Hermione Carline is a London-based English multimedia artist and oil painter inspired by abstraction, architecture and the natural world. Hermione's paintings are strong yet delicate and are imbued with an intriguing sense of ambiguity.
Hermione was born into a family of artists, many of whom are represented in public collections across the UK including Tate Britain. She studied Fine Art at Camberwell School of Art followed by an MA in Textile Design at the Royal College of Art. Hermione co-founded an international textile company, The Collection, where she sold her designs to leading fashion houses including Pierre Cardin, Christian Dior and Ralph Lauren. After working and travelling for 15 years with The Collection, Hermione returned to painting in 2004; though her love of fabric, intricate paper cut stencils and design shines on through her work.
As a visiting lecturer at colleges including Brighton College of Art, Hermione was inspired to establish Art-Atelier in 1993, a teaching business that encourages adults and young people to nurture their creativity. Hermione’s classes are full to this day thanks to her original and individual style of teaching.
Hermione has won awards for her innovation and skill. Recent collaborations have included projects with the Mayo Clinic, Claridge’s Hotel and Visto Images. She has exhibited with Gallery Elena Shchukina in Mayfair, The Other Art Fair and the Affordable Art Fair with Mint Art Gallery. Her work can be found in private collections in the UK and overseas.
