Jose Antonio Hernandez-Diez (1964, Caracas) is a Venezuelan-born artist who works with sculpture, photography and installation art.
Since 1991, Hernandez-Diez has had solo exhibitions of his work in São Paulo, New York City, Madrid and Caracas, among many others.
Hernández-Díez also had a major retrospective exhibition that travelled to a number of museums including the New Museum in New York City, SITE Santa Fe and the Palm Beach Institute of Contemporary Art, Palm Beach, Florida from 2002 to 2003.
[1] He uses "street" materials such as skateboards, sneakers, record players and other audio equipment and bicycles in order to develop a personal iconography centered on familiar, often domestic, objects.
He manipulates the objects, often by physically reconfiguring them in such a way that invests the quotidian with philosophical and emotional resonance.
