Daniel Gonzalez
El Caballito

2012

About the Item

Contemporary Mexican linocut print. El Caballito normally refers to a rocking horse or hobby horse, but this one is large enough to carry knights in armor, devils and the figure of death on his back. From the edition of 15. Daniel Gonzalez was raised in Los Angeles and received his training at the California College of Arts and Crafts. He also apprenticed with Artemio Rodriguez at La Mano Press. Artist statement: “My life has been shared between two countries, the United States and Mexico. I’ve experienced the hard rural life of my parents in Mexico and the dangerous and fragmented life of the inner city. I am a person made up from experiences from both of these worlds. I am Mexican but I am also American and I can slip between these two worlds with ease and exist in both simultaneously. Culture does not honor borders. Culture is about change and growth. My work is inspired by the folk stories that my parents and grandparents have passed on. I have a desire to invent and share my own narratives and vision through printmaking. I want to be able to communicate through the image an invitation to tell a new story to be told or an old one to be remembered."
