Black Maria pleased to announce the opening of Not All is Golden, a solo exhibition of Jason Hernandez’s most recent work.

Jason Hernandez was born in 1983. He received his BFA in Illustration from Art Center College of Design. His painting “Day of the Locust” took first prize at Hollywood Apocalypse, a juried show at Black Maria Gallery in March 2008.

From an early age Hernandez developed a desire to become an artist. Therefore he explored his artistic capabilities and after high school Jason Hernandez continued his education at Art Center College of Design, Pasadena, California; where he earned a bachelor’s degree in Illustration.

Hernandez attempts to capture humor in many of his works as one of his rules to live by is, “Life is too short to be serious all the time.” Additionally, reflected in several of Hernandez’s pieces is the influence of Flemish art of the 15th and 16th centuries as well as current media. Capturing these elements in his works reflect Jason Hernandez’s style.

Hernandez is currently a freelance artist. He is also currently practicing Graphic Arts with Wired Studios located in Whittier, California.
