Carmelo Hernando (Haro, La Rioja, 1954). Pop artist from reflection, witness its space-time and historicist consciousness, possesses a versatile and magnificent work.

In 2006, a voluntary process of rebirth, began what it calls "recent works". It does so on two fronts: the virtual - creating the web reflective, making visual statements and entering into "combinatorial digital art" - and physical - in which for the first time, and with intent to engage in it indefinitely, rush oil painting on canvas.

This new and inexperienced painter, possessed of the audacity nominatoria Duchamp, wants nothing more or less, traveling back roads traveled by Rousseau, Magritte and de Chirico and Spanish which faced quixotic dystopian mills, is delivered in the XXI Century , the old fascination with color figurative.

Its time this may be incomprehensible if not discussed his previous work.

Their path is crossed by transverse lines, have been basic to understand themselves and operate as key to any viewer-spanning her career from childhood to the present: time, color, space-time Spain, ecology, technology, ethics, aesthetics and anthropomorphic forms as a thread from Pharaonic Egypt to Disney.

A lifetime that has been collected and digitized in two parallel worlds: the semiotic web (1.5 GB) - you can see a trailer by clicking HERE - and the semantic web (over 121,000 words) in which you are at this moment.

Adventurous as they come, recorded his first works in 1969 and since then has shown the world using different techniques: collages, acrylics, books, puppets, comic books, curating exhibitions, audio-visual, merchandise and oils. He has exhibited collectively and individually in Barcelona, New York, Oviedo and Logroño. He has known the success of critical economic failure and public recognition. He has written about academics, journalists, designers and museum directors and others.
