About the Item
Enveloped by outstretched paintings, Gonzalo García reveals the ever-present ghosts of our past and present in a delicate swirl of color, light, and flesh. These deeply visceral displays of animals, bodies and mythological creatures come to life in his oil paintings' palette of soft tones. There is a struggle to find balance, a tension between fortitude and fragility, safety and vulnerability, masculinity and femininity, and even life and death. From his canvases to his wallpaper pieces, viewers have immersed in a temporal disruption as García shares an investigation into his relationship to memory, dissecting his familial ties, and the pursuit of identity.
"Just as humanity is complex, so is human history. Garcia infuses Mexican historical elements into his work, fictionalizing aspects of the Mexican Movement of 1968 and other key milestones. There’s a subtle yet looming contrast between his current still-life paintings and the erotic, flesh-oriented paintings that shaped his early career. Where humanity was once the main focus, today the artist takes a more symbolic approach, painting plants and animals and infusing his works with the same sensuality and yet less explicitly. An underlying eroticism nonetheless permeates this exhibition and features vibrant, textured florals, birds and rabbits, horses, and centaurs. The works represent an abstract way to examine the human body and a new manner in which to explore masculinity, femininity, and homosexuality."

"Danza de perros salvajes II" blue, nude, dog
Located in Ciudad de México, MX
Gonzalo García’s work explores the influence of Western culture and European painting on Mexican art, focusing on 17th- and 18th-century still lifes, Flemish Baroque bodegones, and more recently, 15th-century medieval painting. He reimagines symbolic elements, textiles, and furniture from these styles within his own queer perspective, creating pastel-toned works that contrast historical aesthetics with his personal experiences as a contemporary queer artist.
In recent years, García has developed a project examining the dialogue between 1970s Mexican cinema and contemporary painting. Drawing on films as cultural records, he uses them to reflect on memory and the societal concerns of their time. His series Cachorros intertwines two sources: Alfredo González...
