Two Works: (i) Your Private Friend (ii) Brandon, 16, Satanist, UK
2002
Hernan Bas renders these two intimate portraits in water-based oil on vellum, a translucent surface that lends the works a ghostly, ephemeral quality befitting their enigmatic subjects. The medium's delicate luminosity amplifies Bas's ongoing fascination with adolescent subcultures, outsider identity, and the murky thresholds between innocence and transgression. Together, the works evoke a quietly unsettling atmosphere, where youth and the occult intersect in a space that feels both confessional and voyeuristic.
