Hernan Bas — Things Fly About
Hernan Bas

Things Fly About

2006

A darkened, atmospheric scene rendered in oil and mixed media on panel, Hernan Bas's *Things Fly About* evokes a sense of Gothic unease and adolescent mysticism. Shadowy figures or forms appear suspended in a murky, verdant environment, blurring the boundaries between the natural world and something more ominous. Bas's signature blend of literary and subcultural references permeates the work, conjuring a narrative tension that feels simultaneously intimate and deeply unsettling.
