the weaving

 

the weaving by erika husselmann - 600x600x38 oil on canvas, 60mm floating frame




Some might remember 'la rosa' from way back when - exhibited in a show 'People and Places' in Oxford Gallery yonks ago. Thick painting knife texture in oils on the roses, and colours that I still adore.

Well, she has had a makeover, or a deconstruct, and then a reconstruct - combining her with another oil painting that was also a portrait of a woman, with a rare butterfly on her hand - never exhibited.

The two paintings are literally woven together now, and secured in a black display frame - the canvas still stretched.

I like this one, it speaks to me and it might be the humble beginnings of a body of work that will push the boundaries of my process, who knows.

It's called "the weaving" and can be viewed through MGTO gallery (opening on 4 April, very excited!) and will be on display there for a few weeks. If you are interested in securing it, there is a buy now button below as well. The gallery will receive their commission, and the painting will remain with them for the duration of the exhibition.

Thank you for the interest in my work.
Be blessed

Papageno

  Papageno  - 102x76x38cm, acrylic & oils by erika husselmann Meet 'Papageno' - the first finished one for 2025. I am happy with this, it consists of layers and layers of paint, done on a recycled linen canvas, stretched and ready to hang. The painting is framed with a black floating frame and ready to hang. Five is the number of the birds in this painting, and also an interesting number indicated by a V in Roman numerals, after I II III IIII which all made sense.  Google gives me this: 5 is the first congruent number, as well as the length of the hypotenuse of the smallest integer-sided right triangle, making part of the smallest Pythagorean triple (3, 4, 5). Five is the first prime, and the first good prime. And that's not all... 5 is also a Fermat prime, a Mersenne prime exponent, as well as a Fibonacci number. I didn't get all of that, did you? I do love Fibonacci though.. and then I found this: "The earliest counting systems in the world are thought to be ...

'hajulella' is about music among other things: making music, a simple melody, floating sounds like petals on water hajulella - acrylic on linen by erika hüsselmann This painting has all the elements that sing together at this time and in this space, composing form and shape harmony. There are elements that draw the eye, some texture and gold accents here and there. The gold is subtle and not visible without directional lighting. There is also something that suggests floating, but I'm damned if I can put a finger on it, a little bit of magic perhaps? It's one of the bigger canvases at 1020mm by 760mm by 33mm stretched. Ready to hang without framing. Available now at $3500 from the Gallery Helena Bay   my very favourite place to be.

elixer

elixer - acrylic on linen by erika husselmann elixer   is one in a series of paintings practicing expressive marks, pushing to paint as free as I can manage. The viewer has the ultimate freedom to interpret this in their own way, in their own time. For me this painting recalls something that soothes the soul, that calms the waters. The colours remind me of cherry blossoms (I am full of hope that the lonely cherry tree I own will one day surprise me with a spray of blossoms, come on little cherry tree, you can do this) This is a message of hope and encouragement, a soothing balm, even though there is black in everything closeup of elixer Acrylic on linen, 761mm x 1016mm x 33mm sealed, stretched, hanging wire installed and ready to hang $2325 - available now from the Gallery Helena Bay , my very favourite place to be
