Descripción de la Exposición
Reminiscent of haiku, Rodrigo Hernández's works (paintings, sculptures, reliefs, installations) are lyrical explorations of most intimate moments of human relationships and the metaphysical states of mind. For Kestner Gesellschaft's facade, the artist is conceiving a golden tableau at a confluence of his narrative language and the modernist grid of the architectural pattern.
Rodrigo Hernández (Mexico City, Mexico, 1983) lives in Mexico City. He studied at the Akademie der bildenden Künste in Karlsruhe, and at Jan Van Eyck Academie in Maastricht in 2013-2014.
