Bio
Hernán
Cédola is known for his abstract paintings. His eclectic and radical
approach to painting can
be best summarized as a belief in the power of art as an autonomous
way for philosophical thinking. For Cédola, a painting does not need
to be “explained” or “translated” into other language, as it
constitutes a language on its own and, for this, a great tool to
explore and invent new concepts. Everything –form, color, subject,
framing– undergoes, inherent to the act of painting, a process of
transformation. Although his oeuvre varies greatly in style and
materials, in Cedolas’s hands, all oppositions tend to be
dismantled. His work can be construed as an ongoing exploration into
the way conventional dichotomies are forced into a conflictive
coexistence.
Since
2004, Hernán Cédola´s (b. 1977, La Plata, Argentina) work
has received a great critical welcoming. He has participated in
individual and collective exhibitions in Argentina, Germany, the
United States, Bolivia, Italy and Mexico. In
2015 and 2017, he was invited to participate in the residency the
Atelier
Höherweg inDüsseldorf,
