Secundino Hernandez
Spain, 1975
Lives and works in Madrid
Spanish artist Secundino Hernandez (b.1975 Spain, lives and works in Madrid) engages a broad range of artistic references to create his paintings that combine gesturalism, minimalism and abstraction. This multifaceted painting style is born from his deep knowledge of art history; in particular, his fascination with the old and modern masters of his native country.
His work features intricately structured compositions that mix strong linear elements and rich bursts of colour. In Untitled, the canvas supports his abstracted, atomised forms. Hernandez’s work creates a tension between control and chaos, rehearsal and re-evaluation, making and unmaking, beauty and destruction. They are sublime paintings and echo many of the great Spanish modern masters such as Miro, Tapies, or even Picasso.
