A Moth to a Flame
When: Feb. 4-Aug. 2 2020
In his practice, artist Rodrigo Hernández revitalizes questions posed by the avant-garde, dynamically infusing his formal vocabulary with metaphysical meditations informed by dreams, poetry, and history. Hernández explores cultural points of contact where prehistoric depictions of the human body connect with 20th-century movements like surrealism and futurism. Often playing with immersive installations, he investigates the tension between two-dimensional forms and their environments.
