Come experience an evening of art, culture, heritage, and community as we recognize the work and influence of a remarkable Chicano artist.
He was perhaps best known for his work in the 1993 film “Blood In Blood Out,” in which Chicano gang members in East Los Angeles live out the often tragic paths their lives take over the course of two decades.
Hernandez’s work also caught the attention of museum curators and art collectors. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City purchased two of Hernandez’s paintings for its collection, one of the paintings from the film is part of the San Antonio Museum of Art collection and his work is also part of Cheech Marin’s prominent Chicano art collection.
Hernandez died May 15, 2021 at age 69 in his San Antonio home.
