Diango Hernandez
“If Diango Hernández’s first wave paintings were a linear exposition of the language of displacement, the new paintings offer the possibilities of perspective, focusing and deferring how you perceive the image.
Waves as blur; the politics of unseeing. There’s a distance. Diango understands this distance, which paradoxically only emerges with the engagement and intimacy of the gaze. Perhaps it’s a clue to a type of melancholy which weaves through the beauty. Somewhere on the way to a figure taking shape, the image can never quite be discerned, although you have the uncanny feeling you’ve seen it, or heard word of it, somewhere before.”
You still see waves everywhere.
