𝑯𝒆𝒓𝒏𝒂𝒏 𝑩𝒂𝒔: 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒑𝒕𝒖𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒔

𝑯𝒆𝒓𝒏𝒂𝒏 𝑩𝒂𝒔: 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒑𝒕𝒖𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒔, on view at The Bass December 4, 2023 through May 5,2024.
Hernan Bas incorporates visual cues-and hidden clues-from a multitude of sources: poetry, literature, the history of gay struggle, youth culture, news media and television, among others. While his earlier works show various cultural figures linked to specific narratives, Bas takes a broader swipe at artistic output in 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒑𝒕𝒖𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒔𝒕, wielding his interests in conceptual art within (and against) a traditional painting practice. The paintings in the exhibition-over thirty in total-depict imagined conceptual artists, or protagonists, engaged in obsessive, idiosyncratic pastimes.
