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 in burying layer after layer; in this burying process, a face is formed, part of the disorder and the error, in order 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, sometimes grotesque and primitive work, but at the same time it expresses deep emotions that take us back to the ancestral, the spiritual, going to the essence without artifices, an excavation of the soul. With a mixture of abstraction and expressionism, they create a transformation of the human form, where its meaning is transcended. All of this gives us a sense of his complexity and guides us along the path to the deepest parts of the unconscious. The artist himself creates his own paintings, achieving a impasto technique in which density of the paint is reshaped, molding large, overflowing pictorial masses. The volume of the brushstrokes makes the works almost sculptural, creating microcosms that take on their own identity as we approach.
