Sean Hernandez: Ghost Town
@ Peanut Gallery
1000 N. California Ave. Chicago, IL 60622
Opening Sunday, January 5th, from 5PM - 9PM
On view through Wednesday, December 31st
Sean Hernandez is originally from the southwest, spending much of his free time surrounded by vast stretches of dry lands and small rural communities, researching their histories. At that time, his artwork began to attempt to draw context to the disturbing and confusing story that is the southwest. Now in Chicago, he discusses his past interest in folklore through his imagery and storytelling.
His new work is focused primarily on a fictional town called Howlin creek. He has represented this town through a long, indirect narrative that lives in drawings, prints, and animation. The story is about the interaction and tension between body and mind, represented through a parable-like narrative about ghosts and villagers.
Sean is a graphic artist, animator and printmaker in Chicago. He received his BFA from The School of the Art
Institute of Chicago (2012). waxwingprints.com
