Fredric Snitzer Gallery is pleased to present Hernan Bas: On Paper. Installed in the gallery’s FSG Editions space, the exhibition brings together a selection of monotypes, ink transfer drawings, and works on paper created between 2018 and 2024, offering an intimate view into the artist’s evolving practice across a range of themes, processes, and scales.
Widely recognized for his lush narrative paintings, Bas has long used drawing and printmaking as a space for experimentation, invention, and reflection. The works gathered here reveal the artist’s sustained engagement with paper as a site of immediacy, where ideas emerge through gesture, repetition, and material exploration. Moving fluidly between finished compositions and exploratory studies, the exhibition highlights the versatility of Bas’s personal lexicon and technical prowess.
Included are selections from the artist’s Supercuts series, in which stylized portraits are transformed through distinctive hairstyles that function as markers of identity, aspiration, and self-fashioning. Presented alongside these works are medium-format compositions that draw from the diverse subjects that have defined Bas’s practice: adolescent longing, literary romanticism, queer histories, folklore, travel, and the performance of self. Together, the works demonstrate the artist’s ability to balance humor, melancholy, and narrative ambiguity while continually reinventing his visual language.
