(by Nuno Faria)…The drawing is the most sophisticated form of synthesis and the relationship which thought itself in making art has found and constructed to physically and mentally achieve a synthesis between the thing desired and the desiring body, between that which speaks and that which hears, between the apparatus of vision and that of the body. Drawing functions as interior, microgeological work, …

(by Quinn Latimer)…Instead, the elegant if strangely alien modernism (Europe by way of the Caribbean and back again) emanating from the objects, paintings, and assemblages on view seemed keyed to a peculiar humidity. That is to say, if one were to gauge the atmosphere of these works, it would be both stifling and sexy, and definitely wet…

(by Ursula Frohne)…His memory-images, whose efficacy is as individual as it is collective, spur us to think about changing political as well as artistic attitudes; there are overtones of ‘desengaño’, an elegiac disillusionment that has always followed upon utopian enthusiasm……

(by Laura Gibelini)…Thus, the exeunt materializes through the various surfaces and materials in a paradoxical trip which perhaps takes us nowhere. The magnificent collages that receive the visitor (If a House, if a Cause, 2010) give an idea of it. The cut in the drawing leads to another inner one, to another space which might be possible but which, perhaps, doesn’t lead anywhere….…

(by Yilmaz Dziewior)……Let’s talk more about the works you will present at MART. Living Inside My Closet for example visualizes strongly the tension between the personal and the public. The title puzzled me at first because I would spontaneously associate queer issues with it but I could not see how they would be of real relevance to your artistic work. …

(by Melanie Bono)……The experience in the cinema becomes the seed from which all those aspects and themes develop which Hernández artistically confronts in his works for the NAK. The focus of events is formed by the scenery of the dark cinema auditorium, in which a note-book is passed around in order to gather the 15,000 signatures required by the constitution if …

(by Simone Neuenschwander)…In Wróblewski’s late work you can see a certain kind of study, in which he is drawing just one individual or self-portraits. Basically I will refer to one of his drawings that shows a man who is twisted, and instead of having only two hands he has a third, which is coming out of his back and disturbing him. He is …

(by Alexander and Bonin, NY)…Hernández’s new work addresses conflict as a mirror reflection of political objectives onto historical surfaces. The distortions created by the reflected images of tangible examples such as borders, oil, and bombs onto the non-tangible language of prejudice, political slogans, and ideologies become, in the artist’s words, ‘objects of ridicule.’…

(by Anke Kempkes)…MOM DEMOCRACY IS A LIE. In the 1990s Diango Hernández started an extended series of drawings which processed the political and economical crisis of Cuba after the collapse of the socialist systems in Eastern Europe. ’We lost the last support of the Soviet Union, which meant confronting a big crisis. We knew about Perestroika and everyone …

(by Luiggi Meneghelli)…Maybe Hernández takes right from here his way of drawing, where objects disappear and reappear, go and come. Maybe his inconstant mark grows from the wavy, instable and widespread lines of the cathedrals and castles, producing a space where every reality begins when you don’t understand any longer what you are doing.
