Dan Hernandez "Genesis"
Kim Foster Gallery
This event has ended.
Kim Foster Gallery announces Dan Hernandez's first solo exhibition. The exhibit's title "Genesis" refers to the artist's visual dialogue of religion, mythology, and pop culture. Hernandez blurs boundaries, rearranges hierarchies, and calls into question our notions of iconography, collectibles and devotion.
The title not only references the Book of Genesis, but also the Sega Genesis, a video game console that was a defining moment in pop culture, especially for those in the artist's generation. The Book of Genesis houses the creation stories: Noah's Ark, Adam & Eve, etc. Similarly, the Sega Genesis game console was a vehicle for narrative games like Golden Axe, Streets of Rage, Altered Beast and others. Both have narratives that utilize the supernatural and mythical as a central and reoccurring theme. By embracing such eccentric comparisons, the artist explores the unique and interesting possibilities that exist.
