Arturo Herrera’s diverse body of work—which most prominently includes collage, felt sculpture, and wall paintings—references the complex legacy of abstraction through modernist visual languages. His compositions often employ found material and referential iconography to prompt a multiplicity of references and readings for viewers to interpret. Herrera says, “By obscuring parts of an image, we are seeing less but expanding our idea of what is missing. The less that the image reveals, the more we can expand it.”
