CV — gonzalo hernandez

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 textile 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 and Buenos Aires; Laundromat Art Space, Miami, FL, ICPNA, Lima and Alianza Francesa, Lima, Peru. Hernandez's work has recently been exhibited at international institutions and biennials, including the XVI Bienal de Cuenca in Ecuador, the AIM Biennial, in Miami, Mindy Solomon, Miami; LVL3, Chicago, IL; Kates-Ferri Projects, New York, NY; Charlotte Street Foundation, Kansas City, MO; MCC Art Gallery, Arizona, AZ; Galeria Rebelde, Guatemala; Museum of Contemporary Art in Atlanta, GA; among others. He has been reviewed or featured in Hyperallergic, ARTnews, Cultured Magazine, Artpapers, New American Paintings, Artnet, Artsy and Design Milk. Hernandez’s work forms part of many prestigious art collections including the Jorge Perez Collection, Miami, ICPNA, Lima, Peru, SCAD, Savannah, and several private collections in Miami, Paris, Lima, and New York.
