Ever since his arrival in Mexico in 1975, Jan Hendrix has been a key figure in the country’s art scene. From that moment on, his work, inspired by the aesthetics of the traveler and the naturalist, has incorporated a thread of visual and cultural experiences that build an unexpected bridge between the Mexican and Dutch traditions of thinking about nature
As a conceptual artist, he is not just an influential pioneer of the technical and expressive possibilities of screen printing, but also a producer of the work of other artists, a practitioner and inventor of a broad repertory of techniques involving paper and ink, an essential actor in the world of graphic experimentation.
With texts by Miquel Adriá, Jerry Brotton, Seamus Heaney, Pura López Colomé and Cuauhtémoc Medina, as well as a dialogue between Adam Lowe and Jan Hendrix, this publication accompanies the first retrospective of the artist’s work, exploring his visual and technical research into contemporary graphic possibilities and his vision of the importance of nature in our social and personal memory.
