About the Item

Fox is an acrylic painting on canvas by artist René Gonzalez representing a fox surrounded by a colorful landscape. Dimensions are 60 × 50 cm (23.6 x 19.7 in). This artwork is signed and sold with a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist. Since the Covid-19 pandemic, the fox has become a recurring subject in René Gonzalez’s work. At that time, the artist had just returned to London after being forced to stay away for six months due to a technical error in his visa application—an ordeal that separated him from his English wife. During this period, he began to draw parallels between his own experience and the urban foxes, nocturnal wanderers of London’s streets, like strangers in their own home. The fox has since taken on deep significance in his work, becoming a powerful symbol of resilience, adaptation, and liminality. Rene Gonzalez sees his figurative paintings as “a series of small stories”: each work includes a narrative and has its origins in an emotion or story that the artist wishes to convey on the canvas. He draws on a multitude of references that he knows and that surround him to find the elements for his quasi-theatrical compositions: the myths and legends of different cultures, advertising, photography, cinema, and art history. He chooses vibrant, intense colours for their ability to evoke emotions or a particular atmosphere. The artist spends a great deal of time looking for harmonious chromatic combinations. With a dual Latin American and Western cultural heritage, Rene Gonzalez also incorporates, through symbols and allegories, his personal experience which has been profoundly influenced by geographical displacement, sometimes forced, sometimes chosen. Dialogue with the viewer is essential for the artist, who sometimes sees his works as a real conversation with a virtual audience. Although he inserts thematic clues into his paintings, Rene Gonzalez always leaves their final interpretation to the observer. “My work depicts dreamlike landscapes inhabited by animal figures, weaving together elements of mythology, symbolism, and the natural world. Through intricate forestry and celestial motifs, I explore themes of mystery, transformation, and the unseen forces that shape our understanding of reality.” Rene Gonzalez
