Hernán Camoletto
1976. San Jorge, Santa Fe, Argentina.
In his recent work, Hernán Camoletto explores the intersection between image, word, and discourse. Drawing, painting, and installation operate as territories for the exploration of recurring concerns: communicability, memory, affections, and loss. His works emerge from observation and from a relationship with different materials and supports, whose singular qualities shape both the process and the final work.
A self-taught artist, he trained through workshops and clinics. In 2007 and 2008, he participated in El Levante, a clinic for reading and critical discussion of artistic practice coordinated by Graciela Carnevale, Mauro Machado, Luján Castellani, and Lorena Cardona. In 2017, he took part in “Presente continuo,” a cycle of six shows / laboratory focused on crossings between visual arts and writing, with Daniela Rodil and Rosario Bléfari, Silvia Gurfein, and Beatriz Vignoli. In 2019 and 2022, he received a creation grant from the Fondo Nacional de las Artes. In 2021, he was a finalist for the Premio Itaú. Since 2007, after being selected through an open competition, he has coordinated the Writing Workshop at Centro Cultural La Colonia, Psiquiátrico de Oliveros, Santa Fe, a role he continues to hold to this day.
Since 2005, he has exhibited both individually and collectively. Among his recent solo shows are “Fábula material,” curated by Analía Solomonoff, at Galería La Toma, Rosario, Argentina, 2026; “La imagen abierta,” curated by Cecilia Nisembaum, at Parque de la Memoria – Monumento a las Víctimas del Terrorismo de Estado, Buenos Aires, Argentina, 2025; and “Hueco Reverso,” with exhibition text by Gabriela Milone, at CRUDO Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires, Argentina, 2025.
