About the Item

Agustín Fernández (La Habana, Cuba, 1928) Agustin Fernandez was born in Havana, Cuba, 1928 and died in New York City on June 2, 2006. Fernandez is recognized as an outstanding artist of his generation. His work has been extensively and internationally exhibited and has received copious critical acclaim. It is included in numerous and prestigious public collections and found a popular audience when one of his paintings was featured in the 1980 Brian de Palma film, Dressed to Kill. Today, his work is most recognizable for its ambiguous and precariously balanced forms, erotic overtones, surreal juxtapositions, and metallic palette. Inspired by the demands of survival in an urban environment and the mundane objects that clutter its alleys and streets, Fernandez is a collector on a quest for the substance of creativity, complete with the armor of protection necessary to maneuver through time and place that becomes such an important source of his imagery. Paintings and objects are related and complementary and further complicate the identification of organic versus inorganic forms; human and machine; real and imagined; obsessive and cerebral. Throughout his long and prolific years as an artist, Agustin Fernandez was respected as a dedicated professional able to distinguish himself with a unique style and masterful techniques.
