Hernan Bas' landscapes depict honest stories of youth - forbidden desires, sexual ambiguity, moral confliction and personal triumph. His gentle whip of fluorescent hues with lurid palettes exaggerate the youthful figures and grabs you by the throat to acknowledge their myriad of feelings. It's easy to be inspired by Bas (an emerging Miami based artist) when he creates poignant narratives that can resonate positively with everyone or at least remind them of memories buried deep in the crevices of their past. He recently had a retrospective at the Brooklyn Museum and was included at this year's Venice Biennale.
