Carla Hernandez "Exploding Heart"
Soho20 Chelsea Gallery
This event has ended.
Exploding Heart is a visual colloquy traversing both heartache and happiness. Central to Hernandezʼs work is the dichotomy that the heart is an organ that circulates blood through the body yet also serves as an emotional metaphor. Visceral reality combines with intuitive compulsion in her work as she seeks a sort of reconciliation.
In the works Somewhere In There I Am and I Would Rather Go Like This, carefully rendered lines gather concentrically around bursts and folds of color. In others works, a union of both plant and human anatomy can be seen as a metaphor for the physical and intellectual conundrum Hernandez dissects as problematic to human existence.
