Hernan Bas
Dicecream Magazine📷🔳Hernan Bas (born in 1978) is an artist based in Detroit, Michigan.
He graduated in 1996 from the New World School of the Arts in Miami.
Bas is known for his depictions of waifs and dandies, who are somewhat based on his own experiences, as well as his work with the material SlimFast and the paranormal.
Overtime, Bas says, these characters have grown in his paintings and taken on different roles.
Bas is gay and queerness often influences his work in the form of waifs and other young men, typically recurrent characters in his work.
Before Bas starts painting, he typically does research, which according to the artist involves reading and watching a lot of movies, which leads to Bas becoming "obsessively interested in any new stories or tales..."
According to Bas, these stories can be both fictional or true, and he also looks into artists he may have not noticed before for inspiration.
