The figure of the artist is a central theme in the practice of Luis Hernández Mellizo. Far from the modern myth of the artist-genius, Hernández Mellizo understands artistic practice as a labor, a professional activity embedded in a system of monetary exchange. Recognizing himself as an actor, a participant in economic dynamics, Hernández Mellizo defines himself as an artist-worker, and it is from this enunciation that he articulates the exhibition. Studies and essays of a demonstration.
