Herman Venegas. All the rest
Exhibition December 11, 2018 − March 31, 2019
The Museum of International Contemporary Art named after Rufino Tamayo hosts the personal exhibition of Herman Venegas "All the rest". The exhibition presents about 350 works that cover all stages of his work and demonstrate a variety of practices.
Herman Venegas was born in 1959 in Puebla de Zaragoza. He graduated from the National School of Painting. Recognized as one of the most prominent representatives of the generation of artists who, in the 1980s, burst onto the stage of national culture. For a long time he worked as a sculptor, but then returned to painting. The search for a new starting point led him to the philosophical and religious universe of Buddhism, where he found a connection between his existence and his art, enriching his work with a new perception of life and death.
The works of Venegas were exhibited in Mexico and abroad (Germany, Australia, Brazil, Cuba, Ecuador, Spain, USA, Guatemala, Italy, France and Japan) and are part of such collections as the Ponce Museum, the Museum of Modern Art of Mexico, the Metropolitan Museum of Art New York and the Museum of Modern Art in Spain.
