AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Title: Gold Clouds (XXL)
Theme: "Gold Clouds" (XXL) belongs to the artistic line started more than 40 years ago by the sculptor and gilder Fran González (Contemporary Gilding).
"Gold Clouds" is a large-scale work, with elegance and luminosity. Its richness of textures, strong presence and Zen aesthetic pay homage to Nature and Meditation and, at the same time, to the world of Oriental Luxury. This work is conceived to fill any interior space with magic and warmth.
Fran González, an artist specialized in the use of gold leaf as a contemporary artistic medium, centers his work on the union of traditional crafts with experimentation and the creation of innovative exclusive techniques. His reinterpretation of gilding and the use of non-conventional materials as an artistic language differentiate him within the Contemporary Art landscape. In Fran González’s work, gold leaf and other metals (bronze, aluminum, silver, etc.) are used as an expressive and symbolic medium, beyond mere decorative value.
The work is delivered accompanied by a certificate, guaranteeing its authenticity, authorship and provenance.
Warnings: to facilitate transport and reduce shipping costs, the work is delivered without stretcher and frame, rolled on itself with a double protective wrapping.
It is also recalled that the proportions and colors appearing in some photomontages (mockups) may not correspond exactly to reality and are offered only as a reference for the artwork’s presence in a contemporary interior setting.
----------------------------------
Technique: Acrylic and Gold on synthetic canvas. Application of several layers of imitation gold leaf with acid-made patinas.
----------------------------------
On gilding techniques: The traditional gilding technique consists of applying very thin sheets of metal (gold, silver, imitation gold i.e. brass, aluminum, copper, etc.) to any artistic surface (wood, metal, ceramic, textiles, etc.).
Contemporary Gilding: Contemporary gilding techniques are unique and exclusive to Fran González and stem from the experimental philosophy of 20th-century contemporary art, developed over more than 40 years of professional career, and which impart to the works qualities that radiate a magical light that permeates the space in which they are exhibited.
