A Solo Show by Niño Hernandez

This one man show will run from December 08, 2016 to January 08, 2017 at 3rd Floor of Altro Mondo Picasso located at 119 L.P. Leviste Street, Salcedo Village, Makati City.  Scratching the Surface is a solo show by Niño Hernandez.   




Niño Hernandez is a graduate of the Philippine Women’s University with Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, with a major in painting.   As a child, Niño Hernandez grew up learning from Filipino artist and good friend, Gus Albor. His work is also influenced by American and European Abstract Expressionism, particularly the "color fields" of Mark Rothko, and the Tachisme works of Antoni Tapies.




Niño's pieces are abstractions and, in some cases, exact representations of the surfaces of everyday objects such as leaks on walls, cracks on concrete, or corrosion on metal. His process involves laying out large expanses of color and highly tactile textures which he uses to blur the lines that separate these fields of color.  Abstract being his style, he describe his art as "play of texture, color, line, shape and space".  Deriving his inspiration from busted walls, pavements and watered down ceilings.   His paintings aims to give his audience the freedom to interpret the artwork in his/her own way.




Niño is also an art teacher and a professional musician dividing his time as a guitarist, percussionist, and flutist, and also happens to be a bamboo flute maker. He has performed with famous local artists in the Philippines such as Grace Nono, Pinikpikan, Joey Ayala, Julianne, Cynthia Alexander and Kitchie Nadal. He is currently part of the band Loquy
