Illusion

2015

This was my second painting to incorporate unprimed canvas as the backdrop for a work. Each panel represents a wing. The bones of the painting are an abstract representation of what you would find on any Monarch butterfly. The rest is the emotional release of creativity to fill the canvas with color, movement, and lines to stimulate the imagination to bring the painting to life. The back story: This painting was imagined on the ask and a favor to an artist friend & artist Chris Judy...

I was inspired by a room called “The Owl Room” at Al Biernat’s North , in Dallas, TX. I needed to display a work that was representative of an owl but fit the upscale environment at ...

I decided to try a raw and unprimed canvas to enhance more of a natural element in a painting. The palette I chose was very neutral and earthy, but I brought in the pink for a little pop. Most of my paintings are not this simple, but I liked the clean lines and movement I had created on the canvas. I figured this is one that could go in most homes – contemporary or traditional. I see a face, a snake, and some flora. Classic. This piece is an original work derived from my own imagination, all reproduction rights are retained by Brad Fuller...

The inspiration for the palette of “ She Thinks Too Much” was inspired by “Jazz”, my favorite painting of my first exhibition at Patrick Jones Gallery . “She Thinks Too Much” radiates a sense of energy & anxiety with so much color and movement with the fast long brush strokes (hence the title) . The work leads the viewer left to their own interpretation to what I was thinking as I painted . Is it a colorful map or perhaps some sort of alien blueprint? Busy but with depth.

"Follow me / Like me" Oil painting 79" x 59" inch by Patricio Gonzalez oil and silver leaves on canvas From "Looking for Happiness" series LOOKING FOR HAPPINESS Like "el dorado", a cultural construction, a myth, the Looking for happiness series talks about the illusion of happiness. Using coordinates between different geographical points and world views, seeking to generate a dialogue between stories. In this way, places speak to tell us about degraded utopias, religious crusades, martyrs and oppressors, wars, victories, and defeats. All searches for what cannot be found. The infinite existing possibilities, in this continuous present and its accumulation, to be history. The utopian idea of achieving completeness or completeness. The transformation of the fabric into jewelry, the transmutation that moves from the sacred to the economic. The "object of desire" is the engine of life and its different permutations.
