“Wall Fragment With Flying Transport” by Dan Hernandez, UT assistant professor of art, is one of the works featured in the \u201cBad for You\u201d exhibition on display in the Shizaru Gallery in London, England.<\/p><\/div>Dan Hernandez, one of The University of Toledo Department of Art\u2019s newest faculty members, has work in an exhibition on display in the Shizaru Gallery in London, England. <\/P><\/p>\n

His art is in excellent company among works from Andy Warhol, Cindy Sherman and Ed Ruscha.<\/p>\n

The exhibit titled \u201cBad for You\u201d explores the relationship between art and vice. It is on display through Nov. 23.<\/p>\n

\u201cArtists explore these many themes through various moralistic viewpoints. Some works celebrate, disregard and revel in what is seen as being \u02bbbad,\u02bc whilst others raise alarm and aim to forewarn the consequence of a life of decadence,\u201d according to the exhibit\u2019s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In September, Hernandez held his first solo show, \u201cGenesis,\u201d at the Kim Foster Gallery in New York. \u201cGenesis\u201d refers to the artist\u2019s visual dialogue between religion, mythology and pop culture. The word \u201cgenesis\u201d can refer to the literal definition, the biblical book of the same name, as well as the video game system Sega Genesis. Notions of all three as well as other ideas are incorporated into his work.<\/p>\n

Hernandez\u2019s art is often referred to as \u201chigh pastiche.\u201d He combines a variety of disparate elements in his work but does in a unique way that is artistically sensate.<\/p>\n

Beth Rudin DeWoody, one of Forbes top 200 art collectors in the world, attended his show and bought two of his multimedia works, \u201cColecotari Invasion\u201d and \u201cDestruction of Atega Intelari.\u201d DeWoody also is the curator for the London exhibit \u201cBad for You,\u201d and chose another of Hernandez\u2019s works, \u201cWall Fragment With Flying Transport,\u201d for the show.<\/p>\n

Hernandez, UT assistant professor of art, received a bachelor of fine arts in 2000 from Northwest Missouri State in Maryville and a master of fine arts in 2002 from American University in Washington, D.C. He is represented by Kim Foster Gallery in New York City. <\/p>\n

His work also has been presented in numerous galleries, including solo shows at Kim Foster Gallery in New York, Madhouse Gallery in Toledo, the Fine Arts Gallery at Mott Community College in Flint, Mich., and Kresge Gallery at Lyon College in Batesville, Ark., and in group exhibitions at the Toledo Museum of Art and many other places. <\/p>\n

Hernandez was selected for an Ohio Arts Council Individual Excellency Award in 2011.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
