Rodrigo Hernández

Rodrigo Hernández is an artist whose primary focus is classical mediums and techniques, such as drawing, sculpture, and painting. He is fascinated by the fundamental movement of art and image-making, drawing inspiration from Mesoamerican iconography to contemporary art. Hernández's work ranges from creating objects in a dedicated studio practice to site-specific and research-oriented projects. He employs a wide range of aesthetic references, including classical Japanese printmaking, fashion, and European modernism, to develop a personal formal vocabulary.

Hernández was born in Mexico City in 1983 and currently resides and works between Mexico City and Lisbon. He has participated in numerous solo and group shows, including "El espejo" at the Museo de Arte Moderno de Medellín in Medellín (2022), "What Lies Under the Tree" at PEANA in Monterrey (2022), "Entre Irse y Quedarse" at Palace Enterprise in Copenhagen (2021), "Petit-Musc" at Kunsthalle Kohta in Helsinki (2021), "Moon Foulard" at Culturgest Porto in Porto (2021), "Pasado" at Centro de Arte José de Guimarães in Guimarães (2021), "What is it that has etched itself into you?" at Madragoa in Lisbon (2020), "Guests: Artists and Craftspeople" at Istanbul Modern in Istanbul (2020), "Pedigree" at Galleria Campari in Milan (2019), "A Moth to a Flame" at SCAD Museum of Art in Savannah (2019), "¿Qué escuchó cuando escucho el discurrir del tiempo?" at Sala de Arte Publico Siqueiros in Mexico City (2019), "Who Loves You?" at Kunsthalle Winterthur (2019), and "Future Generation Prize @ Venice" (2019).
