Artists
Gonzalo Hernandez
Gonzalo Hernandez (b. 1991, Lima, Peru) is a multi-disciplinary artist whose work delves into personal narratives related to contemporary dilemmas such as labor, success and failure, the art world, and identity. As an immigrant, his installation, painting and textiles works are highly particular to his perspective, while also addressing broader cultural associations. Blurring the lines between art and life, Hernandez finds truth and meaning in the overlooked, using everyday encounters with text, language, and material as fodder for symbolic interpretations.
Hernandez received his MFA from the Savannah College of Art and Design, Savannah, GA in Fibers; and an MA in Painting. His work has been exhibited in solo exhibitions at Kates-Ferri Projects, NY; SCAD Museum of Art, Savannah, GA; Vigil Gonzales, Cuzco, PE; Laundromat Art Complex, Miami, FL and Alianza Francesa, Lima, Peru. Hernandez has shown in several group shows at Mindy Solomon, Miami; LVL3, Chicago, IL; Kates-Ferri Projects, New York, NY; Icpna, Lima, Peru; Charlotte Street Foundation, Kansas City, MO; MCC Art Gallery, Arizona, AZ; Galeria Rebelde, Guatemala; MOCA in Georgia, Atlanta, GA; among others.
