Via Vincenzo Monti 32, 20123 MILAN, ITALY 
and continues at Aurelio Saffi 6, 1st Floor.

 

Wizard Gallery is pleased to present a new exhibition, "Cantos de Sirenas" by Cuban artist Diango Hernández (Cuba, 1970), featuring his latest paintings and drawings. Known for his thought-provoking works that explore themes of identity and cultural displacement, Hernandez's pieces will take the audience on a journey through his unique perspective.

 

Hernández's latest paintings blend abstract and figurative elements, imbued with what he calls Olaismo, the language of the sea. Informed by the rhythms and moods of the ocean, his artworks evoke a sense of fluidity and movement that draws viewers deep into their captivating depths. Through his unique artistic vision, Hernández invites us to explore the beauty and mystery of the world's natural wonders, reminding us of the interconnectedness of all life and the irresistible allure of the sea.

 

The ethereal song of the sirens wafts through the salty sea breeze, drawing sailors towards rocky shores. Alluring images of mermaids and sea creatures dance in the minds of those hypnotized by their seductive tunes. The crashing waves provide a rhythmic background to their haunting melodies as sailors lose themselves in the hypnotic beauty of the siren's song. The images of danger and allure intermingle, weaving a complex web that is impossible to resist. The sea holds many secrets, and the sirens' song is one of its most alluring mysteries.

 

Hernández's latest artworks, including paintings, drawings and sculptures, will showcase his fervour for diverse forms of expression. The pieces highlight his penchant for combining various styles, techniques and mediums to create an eclectic visual language. With his mastery of different expressive media, Hernández offers viewers a fresh, innovative experience that blends classic and contemporary elements. The artworks captivate audiences with their unique and dynamic approach to art-making.

  

Diango Hernández Biography (Cuba, 1970)

 

In the early 1990s Diango Hernández amid the economic crisis triggered by the fall of the Soviet Union participated in various collective initiatives as part of the Cuban cultural scene. Hernández co-founded together with Francis Acea Ordo Amoris Cabinet. Also known as OAC, the artistic duo rapidly gained recognition exhibiting throughout Europe and North America. In the early 2000s he moved to Europe, where he continued to produce artworks that have made him one of the leading heirs of the American conceptual legacy.

 

In 2009 Hernández was awarded with The Rubens Award for his outstanding contribution to the field of art. His works have been exhibited worldwide and explore themes such as cultural identity and the impact of politics on everyday life. The Rubens Award is considered one of the highest honours in the art world and recognizes artists who have made a significant impact on the industry through their artistry and creativity. His work was the subject of solo exhibitions at the Kunsthalle, Basel (2006) and the Neuer Aachener Kunstverein (2007). His work was exhibited in the Arsenale as part of the 51st Venice Biennale and the Biennale of Sydney and the São Paulo Biennial, both in 2006. His work was the subject of a critically acclaimed exhibition of new work, “Losing You Tonight,” at the Museum für Gegenwartskunst, Siegen (2009) and in 2010 two installations were included in “The New Décor” at the Hayward Gallery, London. A survey exhibition of his work took place at Museo D’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea (MART) in Rovereto in 2011-2012 “Living Room, a Survey”. In 2013, Marlborough Contemporary, London presented a solo exhibition of his work “The New Man and the New Woman.”

 

His work was the subject of a solo exhibition “Socialist Nature” in 2014 at Landesgalerie, Linz. Hernández has had solo exhibitions at Marlborough Contemporary, London and the Kunsthalle Munster in 2015. In 2016, a solo show of Hernández’s work, “Theoretical Beach,” took place at the Museum Morsbroich, Leverkusen.

Wizard Gallery è lieta di presentare la nuova mostra “Cantos de Sirenas" dell'artista cubano Diango Hernández (Cuba, 1970), in cui esporrà le sue più recenti opere, una serie di dipinti e disegni inediti. Conosciuto per le sue opere che esplorano i temi dell'identità e dello spostamento culturale, i lavori di Hernández vi porteranno in un viaggio attraverso la sua prospettiva di carattere unico.

 

Gli ultimi dipinti di Hernández fondono elementi astratti e figurativi, impregnati di quello che lui chiama Olaismo, il linguaggio del mare. Influenzate dai ritmi e dagli stati d'animo dell'oceano, i suoi lavori evocano un senso di fluidità e movimento che attira gli spettatori nelle loro affascinanti profondità. Attraverso la sua visione artistica, Hernández ci invita a esplorare la bellezza e il mistero delle meraviglie naturali del mondo ricordandoci l'interconnessione del tutto nella vita e il fascino irresistibile del mare.

 

Il canto etereo delle sirene aleggia nella brezza marina salata, attirando i marinai verso le coste rocciose. Immagini ammalianti di sirene e creature marine danzano nella mente di chi è ipnotizzato dalle loro melodie seducenti. L'infrangersi delle onde fa da sfondo ritmico alle loro melodie ammalianti, mentre i marinai si perdono nella bellezza ipnotica del canto delle sirene. Le immagini di pericolo e di fascino si mescolano, tessendo una rete complessa a cui è impossibile resistere. Il mare nasconde molti segreti e il canto delle sirene è uno dei suoi misteri più affascinanti.

 

Le ultime opere di Hernandez, tra cui dipinti, disegni e sculture, mostrano la sua passione per le diverse forme di espressione. Le opere evidenziano la sua inclinazione a combinare vari stili, tecniche e mezzi per creare un linguaggio visivo eclettico. Grazie alla sua padronanza di diverse mezzi espressivi, Hernández offre un'esperienza innovativa che fonde elementi classici e contemporanei. Biografia

Wizard Gallery se complace en anunciar "Cantos de Sirenas”, la nueva exposición del artista cubano Diango Hernández (Cuba, 1970) en la cual presentará sus últimas pinturas y dibujos. Conocido por sus obras que invitan a la reflexión y exploran temas como la identidad y el desplazamiento cultural, las piezas de Hernández sumergen al público en un viaje a través de una perspectiva única.

Las últimas pinturas de Hernández combinan elementos abstractos y figurativos, impregnados de lo que él llama Olaismo, el lenguaje del mar.

A través de su singular visión artística, Hernández invita a explorar la belleza y el misterio de las maravillas naturales del mundo, recordando la interconexión de la vida como un todo y el irresistible encanto del mar.

 

 

El canto etéreo de las sirenas ondea en la brisa salada del mar atrayendo a los marineros hacia las costas rocosas. Imágenes seductoras de sirenas y criaturas marinas danzan en las mentes de los hipnotizados por sus seductoras melodías. El estruendo de las olas sirve de fondo rítmico a sus inquietantes melodías, mientras los marineros se pierden en la hipnótica belleza del canto de las sirenas. Las imágenes de peligro y seducción se entremezclan tejiendo una compleja red a la que es imposible resistirse. El mar esconde muchos secretos, y el canto de las sirenas es uno de sus misterios más seductores.

 

 

Las últimas obras de Hernández que incluyen pinturas, dibujos y esculturas, muestran la pasión del artista por diversas formas de expresión. Sus trabajos subrayan su su afición a combinar diversos estilos, técnicas y soportes para crear un lenguaje visual ecléctico. A través del dominio de diferentes medios expresivos, Hernández ofrece a los espectadores una experiencia fresca e innovadora que mezcla elementos clásicos y contemporáneos. Las obras cautivan al público con el enfoque único y dinámico de la creación artística de Hernández.
