Gonzalo Fuenmayor Art
Gonzalo Fuenmayor's work reflects a double cultural influence that has inexorably marked his artistic practice: Hispanic and North American. His childhood and youth were spent in one of the cities that best embodies the essence of the Caribbean city (Barranquilla) and his professional activity has been developed in the United States, where he currently lives and works. His artistic research questions the Caribbean identity as a brand and the stereotypes that this concept has generated through images that have become local symbols such as the toucan, the pineapple, the palm tree, and, especially, the banana. The latter has symbolized like no other fruit the paradox of abundance and poverty, being at the same time food for the population and the cause of the exploitation of the peasantry in the plantations in what has been called the "banana drama".
The artist seeks to combine in his works a narrative line where the decorative and the tragic come together in a discourse that borrows resources from literature, cinema, and advertising. His discourse is thus formed from irony and parody; the artist fuses seemingly unrelated objects and creates images that he himself defines as "visual grafts" where the contrast between form and its signifier takes on a new reading that provokes the viewer's reflection.

Chiaroscuro
By Christopher Ganz
Located in Chicago, IL
-ARTIST STATEMENT-
I depict my person in multiplicity with different selves representing dramatis
personae. My likeness is both implicit and symbolic in the portrayal of my
narrative; the drama involved in creating art and the artist’s role in society. I
use realism to invite the viewer into mysterious inner worlds that are layered
reflections of the outer. Dehumanizing environments are imbued with art
historical references as a critique of power structures. The artist is an
Everyman who is at odds with society and his self.
Visually my work is a celebration of society’s dark undercurrents and its
overlooked absurdities. I use charcoal and printmaking media as their
tenebrous values add a fitting metaphor. The nuances of light and shadow
seduce viewers into a world their better judgment would have them avoid.
This provokes a sense of disquietude that causes viewers to assess our world
through the austerity of a colorless, yet not humorless, light.
-BIO-
Christopher Ganz grew up in Northeast Ohio and from early on had a fertile imagination and an interest in art. Christopher's artistic education truly began at the University of Missouri, where his love of the human form led to many figure drawing classes and his exposure to the wonders of printmaking. Christopher's then went onto graduate school at Indiana University and a summer abroad program in Italy was a dream realized. Christopher then grasped charcoal with a renewed vigor and large, sfumato-laden drawings ensued. Christopher's artistic influences are many; from a seminal exposure to Dore's engravings of the Divine Comedy, to Rembrandt, Caravaggio, Goya, and up to Lucian Freud, Mark Tansey...
