Anthony Hernandez's Ten Photographs are culled from several of his recent series. The images depict his careful cataloguing of interiors of abandoned buildings, construction sites, and personal spaces. His focus in each has been directed to catch the peculiar geometry or beauty of the most mundane and overlooked elements within his purview. The satisfying abstraction of new steel beamed hallways, the grid-like uniformity of stacked conduit, the surprising linear glow of empty closets and corners where wall meets wall - all remind us not to overlook the aesthetic potential of the ordinary objects that surround us. Hernandez excels in bringing these sites/sights to our attention.
Mr. Hernandez was born in Los Angeles and currently lives and works in both Los Angeles and Idaho. He received the Rome Prize in 1998-1999 and has a solo exhibition up currently at the Seattle Art Museum called Anthony Hernandez: Temporary Space that will run through April of 2003. Mr. Hernandez is included in many museum collections including The Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, DC; Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles, CA; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY; Miami Art Museum, Miami, FL; The Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY; Oakland Museum, Oakland, CA; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, CA; and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, NY.
