Collages by

Michael Hernandez

Opening Reception: Thursday 

May 21, 6-8pm

Michael Hernandez is a collage artist from New York City whose work draws inspiration from sticker culture, manga comics, Street Fighter cover art, and music album covers. Working strictly with beer labels collected from New York–based beer cans, they construct layered compositions that reflect the visual intensity of pop culture and urban life. Influenced by the dynamic design of fighting game artwork and the storytelling style of Japanese manga, their work explores themes of identity, nostalgia, and consumer culture through vibrant, chaotic arrangements. The purpose of these collages is to shift perspective on how stickers can be used—reframing them not just as disposable decoration, but as meaningful artistic material capable of building narrative and texture. Through this process, Michael transforms discarded beer labels into energetic visual stories rooted in music, movement, and street aesthetics
