About the Artist
Working mostly with classical medias and techniques of art making, including drawing, sculpture and painting, Rodrigo Hernández is interested in the constitutive movement of art and image making, from Mesoamerican iconography to contemporary art. His projects vary from object making within a devoted studio practice to site specific and research oriented projects. He draws on a number of aesthetic references, which range classical Japanese printmaking to fashion, and European modernism, among others, to develop a very personal formal vocabulary.
 
Rodrigo Hernández was born in 1983 in Mexico City, Mexico and lives and works between Mexico City and Lisbon.
 
Rodrigo Hernández has taken part in numerous solo and group exhibitions at: Conchita, Mugica, Bilbao (2024), with what eyes?, Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts, San Francisco, California (2023); forms of the surrounding futures, Göteborg Biennial, Göteborg (2023); Carrés, Turning to Dust and Bones, P////AKT, Amsterdam (2023); Flux of Things, Kestner Gesellschaft, Hannover (2023); Fundación Jumex, Mexico City (2022); Rostro Responsivo, Museo de Arte Moderno de Medellín, Medellín (2022); El ensamble del ocaso [The Sunset Ensemble], MARCO, Monterrey (2022); Palace Enterprise, Copenhagen (2021); Kunsthalle Kohta, Helsinki (2021); Culturgest Porto, Porto (2021); Fidelidade Arte, Lisbon (2021); Centro de Arte José de Guimarães, Guimarães (2021); Madragoa, Lisbon (2020); Istanbul Modern, Istanbul (2020); Galleria Campari, Milan (2019); SCAD Museum of Art, Savannah (2019); Sala de Arte Publico Siqueiros, Mexico City (2019); Kunsthalle Winterthur, Winterthur (2019); Future Generation Prize, Kiev (2019); Midway Contemporary Art, Minneapolis (2019); Art|Basel Parcours, Basel (2018) and Pivô, São Paulo (2018).
