Biography
Arturo Herrera, born in Caracas, Venezuela in 1959, is a Berlin-based visual artist renowned for his collage-driven practice. His vibrant, rhythmic works blend pop iconography, abstract shapes, and gestural marks through techniques like fragmentation, repetition, and dislocation, creating art that balances abstraction and figuration. Critics praise his work for its ambiguity, which evokes memory, fantasy, and personal interpretation.
Herrera studied art in the U.S., earning a BFA in 1982 and an MFA in 1992. He gained recognition through solo exhibitions in Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles in the 1990s and has since shown his work at major institutions like MoMA, the Whitney Museum, Tate Modern, and Museo Reina Sofia. His later career includes diverse projects such as wall paintings, sculpture, and public art.
He has received prestigious fellowships, including those from the Guggenheim Foundation and DAAD, and his work is part of prominent collections worldwide, including MoMA, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Tate. Arturo Herrera has lived in Berlin since 2003, continuing to explore innovative artistic approaches that connect abstraction and cultural narratives.
