Guadalupe Hernandez: Recuerdos Vividos

Recuerdos Vividos is the first solo exhibition of Houston-based multidisciplinary artist Guadalupe Hernandez (b.1993), who recently received an MFA from Houston Baptist University. Hernandez was born in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, before relocating to Pleasanton, Texas, in 1998. Despite moving to the US, Hernandez maintained a deep connection to his Mexican heritage and customs through time-honored traditions. Hernandez’s practice examines his cultural identity by retracing and reinterpreting childhood memories and family stories connecting his past and offering greater meaning to his present to create elaborate Papel Picado portraits and figurative oil paintings with gestural brushwork.
