HECTOR HERNANDEZ

HECTOR HERNANDEZ’s photographs of bodies in motion, swathed in brightly colored fabric, examine the figure’s relationship to space. Face and gender obscured, the human bodies are stripped of all markers of human identity, allowing them to become otherwordly hyperbeasts. In 2012 he was nominated for “Austin Artist of the Year Award” in the 2D category by the Austin Visual Arts Association. His work was recently shown at SXSW 2013 and in Cantanker: The End at Big Medium Gallery in Austin, Texas, where Hector lives.
