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.

"Moonlight Phantasy" comes from a lovely wood near my home in the High Peak. When the moon is full you can walk in the evening and it feels almost as light as day. The wood is quiet with dark tones of the trees creating shadows in the pale moonlight. An original artwork, one of a kind, this painting has been created with high quality acrylic paints on deep edged canvas. I begin with observation of the place making notes and taking photographs to work from in the studio. From these beginnings I work intuitively, painting some base layers with a brush and then impasto techniques layer on layer applied with a palette knife. Harnessing optical mixing techniques employed by the impressionists and some of the methods of the old masters such as scumbling and glazing. I continue working until the painting reaches a natural conclusion. The result is a contemporary painting, which lies somewhere between abstraction and realism. The painting continues round the sides, a frame is not needed and it is ready to hang.
