About the Item
Gonzalo García’s work explores the influence of Western culture and European painting on Mexican art, focusing on 17th- and 18th-century still lifes, Flemish Baroque bodegones, and more recently, 15th-century medieval painting. He reimagines symbolic elements, textiles, and furniture from these styles within his own queer perspective, creating pastel-toned works that contrast historical aesthetics with his personal experiences as a contemporary queer artist.
In recent years, García has developed a project examining the dialogue between 1970s Mexican cinema and contemporary painting. Drawing on films as cultural records, he uses them to reflect on memory and the societal concerns of their time. His series Cachorros intertwines two sources: Alfredo González Reynoso’s 2022 essay El Nuevo Orden que Algunos Soñaron and Jorge Fons’ 1973 film Los Cachorros. Reynoso critiques Michel Franco’s film Nuevo Orden (2020), highlighting how it imposes a “docile” role of martyrdom on the oppressed, reinforcing internalized whiteness and submission in colonized societies. Meanwhile, Fons’ film portrays an “ignoble savage” through a violent dog that disrupts and threatens human ideals of control.
García parallels the concepts of the noble and ignoble savage, reversing roles of oppressor and oppressed, prey and predator. His paintings incorporate references to medieval scenes of castration and circumcision, depicting intimate, tense moments where hunting dogs and dismembered limbs confront figures symbolizing power. Through this, García critiques societal expectations of obedience and submission, creating a provocative dialogue between past and present.
Gonzalo studied Visual Arts at the Instituto Allende University, in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato. His most recent work addresses different social and historical issues in Mexico based on novels written in the 40s and movies from the 70s and 80s of our country. In his career, he has had seven individual exhibitions in Mexico and more than 15 collective exhibitions including various museums in Querétaro, Monterrey, Guadalajara, Sweden, Spain, and recently in New York and California, in the US. In 2013 he had a residency at the Swedish Watercolor Museum, near the city of Gothenburg, and obtained the FONCA "Young Creators" Scholarship for the first time, in the discipline of painting. Likewise, he has been selected in several biennials throughout his career, such as the last XVII Rufino Tamayo Biennial of 2016-2017 and the José y Tomás Chávez Morado Biennial of 2018, where he obtained an honorable mention, as well as the last VI Pedro Coronel Biennial. from Zacatecas. In 2018 he obtained the FONCA "Young Creators" Scholarship for the second time in the discipline of painting. In that same year, he was selected in the "Julio Castillo" Biennial of painting in the city of Querétaro, exhibited at the Libertad Gallery, as well as in a pop-up show of contemporary Mexican painting in Los Angeles, California, with the Emilia Cohen Gallery. In 2019 he participated in several group exhibitions in Edo. from Mexico and CDMX, such as the collective painting exhibition "New Skin for an old ceremony" at the Karen Huber Gallery, and the FAIN Fair (1st Edition). Last year he had his seventh individual exhibition at the Arte Actual Mexicano Gallery, in Mty, N.L., entitled "Fires" and had the support of the FONCA Young Creators Scholarship for the third time, in the discipline of painting, in addition to receiving Mention honorary in the 4th Edition of the Lumen Biennial, "Panorama", still exhibited at the beginning of 2022 at the Museum of the City of Mexico City.
