Marc Gonz - Sweet eye - NO Reserve

Marc Gonz

resistance.

In front of one of his paintings, we don’t look at an image. We face an inner landscape — a tactile memory we didn’t know we carried within us.

The way Marc Gonz works consists of burying layer upon layer; in this process of burial, a face is formed, part of the disorder and the error to find harmony. Marc Gonz's works through matter and color present us with a distorted version of reality. The brutality and density of the brushstroke reveal a visceral work, sometimes vibrant, grotesque and primitive, but at the same time it expresses deep emotions that remind us of the ancestral and the spiritual, going to the essence without artifices, an excavation of the soul. With a mix of abstraction and expressionism, they create a transformation of the human form, where its meaning transcends. All of this gives us an idea of his complexity and guides us toward the deepest parts of the unconscious. The artist himself makes his own paintings, achieving an impasto technique in which the density of the painting is recreated, molding large overflowing masses. The volume of the brushstrokes turns the works into almost sculptural pieces, creating microcosms that take on their own identity when we approach.
