About the Item
INDUSTRIAL ABSTRACTION
Size: 35.5 x 70 cm (including frame)
Oil on canvas
A brilliantly composed mid century abstract composition in oil, painted onto canvas and dated 1957.
This painting is an abstract composition with a cubist influence, constructed from overlapping geometric shapes in a horizontal layout.
The artist has used a palette of muted earth tones—including shades of blue, olive green, mustard yellow, grey, brown, and black—with occasional pops of more vibrant hues like cobalt blue and ochre.
The forms resemble architectural or industrial elements—possibly buildings, machinery, or a cityscape—but remain non-representational. Thick, impasto brushstrokes give the surface a textured, tactile quality. The shapes interlock and layer, creating depth and rhythm across the canvas. Angled lines and blocks suggest both movement and structure, while negative space in pale grey balances the denser elements.
The rigid composition and strong use of form create a sense of architectural solidity, while still maintaining an expressive feel through painterly texture. The balance of order and spontaneity suggests an interest in form, design, and underlying harmony.
The painting is housed in a frame with a linen lined border. There is a small area of paint loss as shown in close up but the paint layer is stable overall. The painting and frame in good condition overall.

"Looking For The Right God" Abstract Painting 59" x 79" in by Patricio Gonzalez
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.
