“My works bring together the beauty of architecture through geometric abstract forms.

Through the use of vibrant color, light, geometric forms and abstract compositions, my works reflect our daily lives, the dynamic energy of the big city, and the emotion of the people that live in it. I create artwork that inspires our youth to become more productive participants in society as not only artists, but in all facets of our society as lawyers, politicians, doctors, athletes. My vision is to bring back art to those underserved communities where the art programs have been eliminated.”

About the artist

Jessus Hernandez

Jessus Hernandez is an LA-based artist who merges geometry with the beauty of cityscapes in a two-dimensional world filled with color. From an early age, Hernandez was always intrigued with how everyday objects can be broken down to the placement of shapes and lines. From Picasso’s Cubist forms that fascinated him the first time he visited a museum to the drafting class in high school that exposed him to the world of architecture; Hernandez has always been influenced by methodical artistic styles.

His work simplifies the complexities of city life by converging flat shapes and perspective to create geometric abstractions filled with curiosity. With each work that he creates, Hernandez expresses the wonder of familiar cities and places with splashes of vibrant colors. By utilizing aerosol paints, he has created a painting technique where he skillfully creates clean lines and winding circular shapes that give his artwork a three dimensional futuristic quality. Through his commitment to detail and command of strong colors, he draws the eye of the viewer to his architectural perspective to reveal dimension, shadows, and the overall depth of his works.

Hernandez has exhibited his work in multiple galleries in the U.S. and Europe and was a featured artist in the Context Art Fair in Miami Art Week 2018. When not in his studio, he can be found exploring new architectural wonders to inspire his work or working in the community with Art Share LA and Casa LA to bring art to the inner-city children.
