About the Item

José González Veites (Mexican, born Mexico City 1957) Works in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of New York City. Born in Mexico City, where he still lives and works, the prolific artist José Gonzalez is known both for his paintings in oil and his watercolors and gouaches. His geometric abstractions are often reworked over a period of months as he experiments with different techniques and colors. Equally well known in Mexico and abroad, his work is held primarily by American, Swiss, Mexican and Colombian collectors, including former Colombian President César Gaviria. He is represented by the Roseline Koener Gallery in New York and the Galeria de Arte Mexicano in Mexico City. The work of José González Veites is one of the most hidden treasures in Mexican art history. His technique and his concept of the painting reveals a both a deeply knowledge and interest about the canvas as a surface to define light, color and space. González Veites studied Fine Arts at San Carlos Academy in Mexico City. He was always interested in the possibilities of the painting to create multiple forms and turned the canvas into a space full of light. His early works were an exploration about geometry with a monochrome palette. After graduating from San Carlos, Veites traveled to Europe where he was in touch with the work of artists such as Carlos Cruz-Diez (Caracas, 1923 – Paris, 2019), Jesus Rafael Soto (Ciudad Bolívar, 1923 – Paris 2005), and Victor Vasarely (Pecs, 1906 – Paris, 1997), whose works—related with the Op-Art and Kinetic Art—influenced him on the relationship between geometry and color. Since then, Veites understood that geometry isn’t always or necessarily perfect, and allowed his brush-strokes to flow along with the painting process. Mark Rothko, Antoni Tàpies, Victor Vasarely, all are visible in his works as the influences of invisible masters. He was born in Mexico City in 1957, in 1977 he studied at the former Academy of San Carlos and years later he worked in Spain in the Emilio Vedova atelier workshop. He arrived at geometric abstraction through much exploration of light and color, and he breaks this structure with the gesture and scraping that he submits to the canvas looking for layers of color. His painting requires a lot of patience and he knows how to wait, drying time is part of his daily life.
