Sergio Hernández's 'Tres Pasiones' at Labirinto della Masone
Sergio Hernández (Oaxaca, 1957) presents 'Tres Pasiones' at the Labirinto della Masone in Fontanellato, curated by Giorgio Antei and Laura Casalis, running until November 20, 2016. The exhibition features small, aggressive figures in a leaden landscape, with lead as a primary material. Sculpted 'shelves' evoke a war from which there is no escape, referencing Maya and Aztec cultures. Graphite and cinnabar red works allude to Christ's Passion, inspired by Grünewald's Crucifixion in Colmar. In the 'Plomos' series, nature interacts with inorganic metal through chemical processes, with agave and palm leaves emerging from surfaces.
