Three Works: i) The Future of Romance; ii) Empty Waters; iii) Reaching Out

Three interconnected mixed media works on paper by Hernan Bas explore themes of longing, mystery, and the uncanny through his signature blend of gothic sensibility and adolescent melancholy. Bas layers drawing, painting, and collage to conjure atmospheric scenes that hover between the natural world and psychological unease, where figures and landscapes dissolve into one another with a dreamlike ambiguity. Together, the works trace an emotional arc — from romantic anticipation to desolation to tentative connection — reflecting Bas's ongoing fascination with outsider experience and the tensions between desire and isolation.
