    The Yancey Richardson Gallery in New York City recently opened its first exhibition of Los Angeles native Anthony Hernandez, running through October 12th. As a native Angeleno myself, I find the work compelling in it’s simplicity and truthfulness. I’ve always felt that Los Angeles is a difficult city to photograph, as so much of this city is not what we see on postcards or in the movies. There are parts of Los Angeles that are stark and unremarkable and Anthony’s work brings a “formal integrity and bleak beauty to the harsh realities of his native Los Angeles”.  His work about Los Angeles captures a sense of isolation within an urban setting, acknowledging people whose lives are on the fringes and create home wherever they can. The exhibition is comprised of two of two projects: Landscapes for the Homeless and Public Transit Areas. This exhibition coincides with a career retrospective at the Milwaukee Art Museum which originated in Fall 2016 at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
