Exhibition Date: 26 September - 28 October, 2024
Kate Contemporary presents "Tales and Twists" (Cuentos y Giros), our upcoming exhibition featuring the captivating works of Laura Hernández.
Tales and Twists is an homage to the women that Laura has met in her life having inspired her and her art; "An open love letters of gratitude and affection."
Her works, inspired by fabrics, textiles, and everyday items and garments, are reminiscent of crafts that were traditionally handled by women. They are ordinary moments that carry an inherent greatness. By "embroidering with paint," Laura brings attention to the intricate relationship between women and fabrics, exploring themes of care, home, and femininity.
Each piece in this exhibition is a manifestation of different voices and relationships. Laura, through these fabrics, portrays actions such as an embrace or a handshake, imbuing her subjects with personality and depth. These visual narratives reflect her dedication to highlighting the beauty and significance of what is often considered "minor art," elevating it through her meticulous and thoughtful process.
Her artistic evolution, transitioning from shunning traditional femininity in her early monochrome pieces to celebrating it with vivid colors and dynamic shapes, reflects her growth and increasing self-assurance.
We invite you to experience "Tales and Twists" at our gallery, where Laura's works captivate and inspire with her intimate portrayal of everyday beauty and the powerful stories woven into every piece.
