Rare public address by Waco artist Kermit Oliver
By Carl Hoover
| Friday, April 25, 2008, 03:15 PM
One of Waco’s best-kept secrets - artist Kermit Oliver - will make a rare public appearance Tuesday night to talk about his latest work. Oliver will speak at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in Room 149 of Baylor University’s Hooper-Schaefer Fine Arts Center.
Though Oliver, his wife Katie (also an artist) and their family have lived in Waco for more than 20 years, he doesn’t have the name recognition here that he does in Houston art circles, where his nearly photo-realistic paintings and their often-allegorical composition are prized by private collectors.
The Hooks-Epstein Galleries in Houston represents him and is usually the best place to see new work by the Waco painter. Oliver also designs exquisitely detailed silk scarves for Paris fashion house Hermes.
For most of his time in Waco, the publicity-shy Oliver has worked nights at the main Waco Post Office, doing his painting, sketching and study in mornings and afternoons. He had a local exhibit at Baylor’s Martin Museum of Art in 2000 and a lifetime retrospective exhibition at Museum of Fine Arts, Houston in 2005.
Tuesday offers the opportunity to see his latest paintings and hear their creator’s comments on them.
