Rodrigo Hernández

Rodrigo Hernández works across drawing, painting, relief, sculpture and installation, to create a personal constellation of images. His fantastical visual lexicon is rooted in a wide and distinctive range of sources: from Mexican Pre-Columbian art to Japanese prints, from European modernism to American Pop Art. As in dreams, disparate scenes and sights are interwoven in surreal images – inviting the viewer to imagine new possibilities and uncover mysterious connections. Simmering with the emotional power of subconscious memory, Hernández’s works are suffused with the attraction of the unknown. The artist renders an uncanny world of impenetrable dreams and fantasy with a fine, glowing brush. Hernández’s touchstones of poetry and philosophy frame his work within a broader epistemological and psychological exploration. His work is searching, not for an answer, but for the question.
