Exhibition by Giovanni Gonzalez
The goal on the exhibition is to explore artistic possibilities by combining both
street art practices and studio practices. My work is a combination of both. I go
from painting murals to studio work on canvas. Bringing practices from both worlds
is inevitable when creating new artwork. Feel free to check out my Instagram accounts
to get a sense of the work and how both painting on walls and canvas influence the
artworks I create.
If my proposal gets attention from the Union Art Gallery, my plan is to create new work for the exhibition. I'll have to re visit the space again and familiarize with it, same as when I work on mural commissions for clients. The work wont be painted on the Union Gallery walls, but created on different surfaces that can be hung in the space. Surfaces such as; 4" x 4" wall fragments, big pieces of cardboard, sections of wood fence and traditional canvas. The idea is to bring the energy of outdoor mural works into the indoor Union Gallery space.
