Ohio's
Tiffin University recently hosted "Reset," an
exhibit of the work of artist Dan
Hernandez, at its Diane Kidd Gallery.
Hernandez has
said his works
“mix and match religion, mythology and pop culture, blurring
boundaries, rearranging hierarchies, and calling into question
notions of iconography, collectibles,
and devotion. My works are the possibilities, the maybes — they are
fictions and inventions."
Rebecca
Robertson wrote about
Hernandez's
work in the April 2014 issue of ARTnews: "To imagine epic
battles between heaven and earth, Dan Hernandez plants Super Mario
Bros. clues in ancient frescoes and uses Donkey Kong architecture to
create medieval fortresses. You don’t remember that part of the Bible where saints and devils do battle with neon lasers and
spaceships?…”
Hernandez
is represented by Kim Foster Gallery in New York. He received the
Ohio Arts Council Individual Excellency Award in 2011 and 2015 and won
first place in 2010 and
2013 at the annual Chautauqua Exhibit of Contemporary Art. He
is currently an
assistant
professor
of art
at the University of Toledo.
