VIGIL GONZALES Santo Domingo: Gonzalo Hernandez

Gonzalo Hernandez (Lima, 1991) artist based in Miami, FL is part of All Inclusive, Vigil Gonzales Santo Domingo's first exhibition. The reflection of Gonzalo Hernandez, through his work, explores the chain of different types of appropriation and inserts himself in this discussion. He creates a succession of reappropriations and problematizes, through a symbol, seriality and support. In the exercise of the artistic profession, his work is locally situated in the questioning from the appropriation. In his multifaceted artistic practice, he starts from personal narratives related to contemporary dilemmas such as work, identity and success and failure. His work is very particular to his perspective as an immigrant, while addressing broader cultural associations. Eliminating the distinction between art and life, the artist considers many situations and materials, however banal or everyday, as viable for inclusion in his work.

ABOUT GONZALO HERNÁNDEZ

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.
