Salomón Huerta gained critical acclaim and commercial attention in the late ’90′s for his minimalist portraits of the backs of people’s heads and color saturated depictions of domestic urban architecture. He was included in the 2000 Whitney Biennial and has been featured in numerous exhibitions at institutions around the US, Europe, and Latin America including The Gagosian Gallery in London and Studio La Città in Verona. Born in Tijuana, Mexico and raised in East Los Angeles, Huerta went on to attend the Art Center College of Design and completed his MFA at UCLA. Salomón Huerta is currently represented by Patrick Painter in Los Angeles, where he lives and works.
