Hernan Bas is known for his ornate figurative paintings that explore identity, sexuality, and subjectivity. Influenced by romanticism and gothic literature, Bas’s work marries the lush, introspective, and preternatural stylistic tropes of these genres with his own observations of humanity. Bas often blurs the lines between realityand fantasy, questioning the distinction between the two. His paintings present dark, often humorous narratives grounded by his masterful technical skills, immense art historical knowledge, and sharp wit. Paulson Fontaine Press is happy to announce the release of  four new, large-scale editions with Bas: Nightmare (blue); Nightmare (mood ring); Nightmare (red); Nightmare (yellow), inspired by Henry Fuseli’s 1781 painting, The Nightmare.
