George Gonzalez Bio
Richness, elegancy, creative diversity, and emotional characterization are the hallmarks of this Texas artist born in 1966. When combined with his dramatic use of lighting, shadow, and color, his canvases quickly create a mood of gentle and vivid emotions. Even more significant is Mr. Gonzalez's sense of detail, not only in the realism of his subject matter, both in the attention he takes to prepare his canvases and panels. Primarily self taught, Mr. Gonzalez has gained invaluable experience through extensive book studies and by attending museums.
Mr. Gonzalez states, "Although realistic and contemporary in style, the paintings I create are developed in the Old Masters' tradition of color glazes. I am currently exploring adding dimensions or surrealism and trompe l'oeil to my still life paintings. Since the first day I began to draw, I've always had a love for still life. Unlike other genres, still life allows me more control over lighting, composition, arrangement, design, and color. My work is influenced by the artwork of the Dutch Masters, Caravaggio, Harnett, Dali, and Magritte."
Mr. Gonzalez's paintings; created in oil and occasionally mixed media, have won numerous awards. In the twenty years that he has been painting professionally, he has held a number of one-man and group shows and has developed a following of private collectors and admirers throughout the United States and Europe.
His organization memberships include National Oil and Acrylic Painters Society, Oil Painters of America, Allied Artists of America, and the International Guild of Realism.
