Harley Cortez is a multi-disciplinary artist, musician, and filmmaker. His work has been shown in Los Angeles, NYC, Berlin, Mexico City and Tokyo.
Raised in Los Angeles, CA and Queens, NY, he also lived in his mother's home country, Guatemala, for a brief time as a kid.
His recent group show “Bridging the Abstract” (alongside titans such as Helen Frankenthaler and Elaine de Kooning) in April 2023 in NYC has thrusted him into the international art world radar.
His recent solo show in NYC in April 2022 HOW DO YOU HEAL A BROKEN HEART? Dealt with the theme of grief and was met with great response.
Recently his work has been shown at the Tamayo Museum, Jumex Museum and Maia Contemporary in Mexico City.
His solo exhibition in 2016 at The Paper Agency Gallery in Los Angeles titled "The Poet as Spacemen" was an immersive installation of paintings, film, and music composition and included a Q&A with astrophysicist, cosmologists, and an astronaut from NASA and JPL. He also exhibited in Tokyo that year.
Using various modalities his paintings, drawings, abstract pieces have been used on record covers, film poster art, set design, and art direction.
His short films, experimental films and music videos often explore international themes of migration.
He lives and works in East Los Angeles, CA.
He is represented by Georges Bergès Gallery in New York and Berlin.
