About the Item
Enveloped by outstretched paintings, Gonzalo García reveals the ever-present ghosts of our past and present in a delicate swirl of color, light, and flesh. These deeply visceral displays of animals, bodies and mythological creatures come to life in his oil paintings' palette of soft tones. There is a struggle to find balance, a tension between fortitude and fragility, safety and vulnerability, masculinity and femininity, and even life and death. From his canvases to his wallpaper pieces, viewers have immersed in a temporal disruption as García shares an investigation into his relationship to memory, dissecting his familial ties, and the pursuit of identity.
"My work as a figurative painter examines my experience as a gay male living in Mexico today. My early paintings and drawings are more explicitly erotic in that they focus exclusively on human flesh, depicting the vulnerability of self-portraiture through the lens of intimacy and sex. Over time, I began to paint my friends in similar states of being—leveraging a seductive, mystical realism in the works to evoke each subject’s physicality and overarching sense of desire. While these self-portraits allowed me to explore, and ultimately uncover, who I was as a gay male artist, lately I’ve been compelled to work more metaphorically and bring to life more subdued sexual motifs like flowers, complete with varied textures and colors that echo the human body but allow the viewer to draw their own conclusions.
In both portraits and still-life, key themes tie the works together. These include the body, sexuality, fragility, and undertones of violence. The latter lies beneath the surface of the scene featured on the canvas, inviting the viewer to take stock of the composition and only then dig deeper into the painting’s history. After receiving Mexico’s coveted FONCA (National Fund for Culture and the Arts) scholarship multiple, I began to research and subsequently fictionalize elements of Mexican history, particularly milestones from the ‘60s, ‘70s, and ‘90s, blending past and present to inspire a sense of contemplation regarding where the nation is today. Death, culture, and Mexican folklore come together alongside notions of identity, nationalism, and progress, with the goal of creating an entirely new atmosphere that captures the viewer’s eye in a near-superstitious fashion. There’s a sensory obsessiveness regarding the shapes, colors, and textures at play within the works. A muted color palette and anatomical approach enable me to experiment thematically while maintaining my artistic voice as I experiment with memory."

Like The Wings Of A Dove: contemporary abstract painting, acrylic and charcoal
By Alysha Grace Marko
Located in New York, NY
Like The Wings of A Dove kicks off 2023 with a bold arrangement of colors smathered across a tan background, inspired by the beaches of Palm Beach, Florida. This piece is part of a series by Alysha Marko featuring other works like Treasure At The Beach as well as Fun Crowd: small abstract paintings that serve to document the very present feelings of the artist as she paints with immediacy. The bright magenta and blue contrast the soft brown and white colors. The bright colors realize the glam and vibrancy of the Palm Beach social scene, surrounded by warm sands and foamy waters on the oceanfront, giving off vacation vibes.
The title of the pieces is inspired by the iconic Stevie Nicks song. The colors are reminiscent of Nick's bold vocals thundering through the track, contrasted by the soothing imagery of a white dove cooing.
