Hermes Berrío Exhibition
Join the Armory Art Center as it hosts the incredible talent of Colombian Visual Artist Hermes Berrío!
Life or Something Like It explores the fluid boundaries between reality and perception, memory and reinvention. Berrío’s work brings forth an expansive exploration of identity and transformation, elevating everyday moments into monumental narratives. Through painting, and mixed media, he blends the mundane with the extraordinary, inviting viewers to reconsider how personal history, cultural symbolism, and imagination intersect. Berrío draws from street culture, social media symbolism, and personal history to examine the ways we construct identity through memory and material culture. Life or Something Like It is an invitation to reflect on the transient nature of experience, how we navigate, adapt, and transform the symbols that shape our lives.
