Houston-based artist Carlos Hernandez shares screenprints, collages, and sketchbooks in MIXED UP, CUT UP. Hernandez’s work reproduces familiar visual images, and arranges/collages them into new, layered works often with added hand-drawn elements. The results are high-voltage graphic works with retro grit.
Hernandez’s art has been showcased through a variety of gallery shows and projects that include the music industry, restaurant and retail design, and corporate work. He is a founding partner of Burning Bones Press, a member of the legendary Outlaw Printmakers, and has served as an instructor of Screen Printing at Rice University.
His career highlights include serving as the 2019 Artist-In-Residence at the renowned Hatch Show Print; becoming a part of the print collection at the Smithsonian Institution and the Library of Congress; being tapped as the official commemorative poster artist for the Austin City Limits Music Festival; and his work with childhood idol and hot rod legend, Ed “Big Daddy” Roth.
The exhibition at Pyramid Atlantic is made possible by The Maryland Department of Commerce and the Maryland National Park and Planning Commission, Prince George’s County.
