{"product_id":"78874-hernan-bas-the-conceptualists","title":"Hernan Bas: The Conceptualists","description":"Hernan Bas is known for his complex paintings, in which he masterfully interweaves diverse cultural references from literature, fashion, cinema, and queer history. *The Conceptualists*, his latest series, portrays imaginary conceptual artists engaged in eccentric creative activities—from mixing paint with water from Niagara Falls to gilding the leaves of dying houseplants. His large-format, detailed figural representations invite close observation and deciphering of the depicted subjects and scenes. This monograph is published on the occasion of the presentation of this new series of approximately 30 paintings at The Bass, Miami Beach. Contributions by Kevin Brazil, Isabelle Graw, Liz Munsell, Blake Oetting, and the exhibition's curator, James Voorhies, address Bas's queer aesthetic, Latinx influences in his work, and his painterly perspective on conceptual art practices.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHERNAN BAS (b. 1978, Miami, FL) creates paintings that fuse youthful adventures with mythology, the paranormal, and literature. His recent works deal with LGBTQIA+ activism, desire, and occultism, addressing current political themes through the medium of painting.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49805507592456,"sku":"9783775758949","price":40.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775758949_57b13e4a-7221-4c64-8108-3af1c887f32b.jpg?v=1744288844","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/78874-hernan-bas-the-conceptualists","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
