Rodrigo Hernández

Rodrigo Hernández (1983, Mexico City, Mexico) lives and works in Paris. He studied at the Jan Van Eyck Academie, Maastricht and at the Staatliche Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Karlsruhe.

Working mostly with classical media and techniques of art making, including drawing, sculpture and painting, Hernández is interested in the constitutive movement of art and image making, drawing on a wide array of visual references, including classical Japanese printmaking, fashion, European modernism, Mesoamerican iconography and contemporary art, among others, to develop a very
personal formal vocabulary. His projects vary from object-making within a devoted studio practice to site-specific and research-based
projects. 

His works are in numerous public and private collections including Nouveau Musée National de Monaco; Espacio de Arte Contemporánea, Mexico City; Colección Diéresis, Guadalajara, Mexico; AkzoNobel Art Foundation, Amsterdam, Netherlands; Zuzeum Art Centre, Riga, Latvia; Collection Villa Santo Sospir, Cap Ferrat, France; Stichting Kunst & Historisch Bezit ABN AMRO, Amsterdam, Netherlands, Basel Stadt Kunstsammlung, Basel, Switzerland.
