About the Item

Over the past four decades, Ramos Rivera has developed a unique visual language that manifests throughout his paintings, monotypes and collages. His playful and powerful abstract compositions can be read like a visual diary, the expression of which works on both intellectual and emotional levels. Ramos Rivera’s fields of rich color and glyph-like mark making recall both the work of Joan Miro, Paul Klee and Cy Twombly and the iconography of the indigenous cultural heritage of his native Mexico. The marriage of spontaneous linework with technicolor fields create a highly personal symbology that speaks to memory, experience and shared history. Ramos Rivera says of his practice, “Painting is a delightful devotion, a mirror of truth; it’s an invention of anything you want.” Gustavo Ramos Rivera was born in Ciudad Acuna, Mexico in 1940, and immigrated to the United States in 1969. He has lived and worked in San Francisco for over 40 years. Ramos Rivera’s work is in the permanent collections of prominent institutions including the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco, The Mexican Museum in San Francisco and The Nevada Museum of Art. In 2006, the San Jose Museum of Art presented a retrospective exhibition of the artist’s work, which then traveled to additional institutions in California and Mexico.

Barroco
By Mauricio Sandoval
Located in Mexico City, CDMX
Mauricio Sandoval is an abstract painter, one of the best ever in Mexico; he creates his own pictorial language that expresses a never-ending search and continuous, organic movement. His production is characteristically expansive, sometimes saturating spaces with texture or color, energetic, long, and fluid traces. Sandoval’s work has retained some determining constants throughout his trajectory, during which he has developed a complex relationship between poetic language and image. From an early age, the artist has had an ever-present intense relationship with poetry and literature, as can be observed in “Barroco”, a work based on “Wuthering Heights...
