Pipo Hernández Rivero
The works by Pipo Hernandez Rivero propose questions on “universally accepted cultural truths”. Built with images and ideas based on modern culture, his works move in the fields of cultural suspicion.
Pointing out to the complex possibilities for painting in the 21st century, his body of work offers a pictorial reconsideration from formal and conceptual structures, which references underlie a sense of failure to the cultural avant-gardes. At the same time, demonstrating that the discoursive standardizing results in the exclusion of voices.
Mixing painting with all sorts of materials and introducing texts in languages that are unconventional to the Western paradigm, his works place us at politically disturbed environments, confronting the viewer with an unsolved dialogue and pushing towards rethinking notions of identity and value.
He has exhibited at the Centro Atlántico de Arte Moderno, Fundación MARSO, Museo de Arte de Pereira, ARTIUM Museoa, Centro de Arte La Recova, Círculo de Bellas Artes de Tenerife, Fundación Otazu, Museum of Fine Arts Budapest, Centre del Carme Cultura Contemporània, Prague Art Museum, and the Contemporary Art Hall of Tenerife. He has also participated in biennials such as the Havana Biennial, the Canary Islands Biennial, and the Dakar Biennale.
His works are part of the collections of Fundació Sorigué, TEA Tenerife Espacio de las Artes, Centro Atlántico de Arte Moderno, ARTIUM Museoa, Museo de Arte Contemporáneo del País Vasco, Fundación MARSO, Colección Galila Barzilaï, Kells Collection, Olor Visual, and MUDO Istanbul.
