Louis Buhl & Co. pleased to present a limited screenprint edition with artist Monica Hernandez, titled La Peregrina (Hopscotch). The edition measures 30h x 18.5w inches and comprises 5 colors with a spot soothing varnish. The Bronx-based oil painter explores womanhood, identity, sexuality, and representation through her work.
The vibrant colors of La Peregrina (Hopscotch) echo the artists’ Dominican heritage, which exists at the forefront of her practice. Drawing inspiration from the stories and traditions of her ancestors, Hernandez aims to create works with younger generations in mind, in hopes of providing a sense of visibility that was less pronounced in her own formative years. The work is autobiographical by nature, as the artist referenced photographs of herself as an initial point of departure. Hernandez emphasizes an interest in progressing her studies of the female form in relation to domestic interiors by taking the figure out of the confines of a set place and time. Through playful manipulation of perspective, she deconstructs her compositions and rearranges the elements into geometric dreamscapes that serve as visual metaphors for her active analysis of personal memories and relationships. In doing so, Hernandez depicts a space that is familiar yet constantly in flux, an environment that encapsulates and allows her to reflect on the abundance of experiences that have made her who she is today.
