Husk Gallery is delighted to present the first solo show with Diego Herman (b1994, Brussels). Fascinated by the importance of limits and boundaries in the way we think about space, the Belgian artist with Mexican roots has been working with the motif of the fence as a strong symbol of the obstruction to the free movement of bodies. Despite the absence of the human figure, Diego Herman composes socio-political landscapes. His paintings raise consciousness about contemporary issues on displacement, identity and humanity. By painting his recurring motifs, such as barriers and borders, abandoned spaces and wild animals, in an unnatural color palette, his paintings transcend the ordinary and become a face of our society.
Opening Sunday 3 November 2024
from 2 to 7 pm in the presence of the artist
