Media: Paint on Acrylic
Approx Size: 76x75.5x3.5cm
Artist: Antonio Gonzalez
Antonio was born in Mexico City. Since a very early age he has been in touch with the city 'street' way of life and that of the indigenous cultures of his country. These experiences are reflective in his paintings, portraying Mexican symbols in a playful and at times sarcastic way, evoking Mexican humour. His art is not only displayed on canvas and wood, but also on the human body; Antonio is a skilled tattooist, using ink on skin to create striking designs that reflect the inspiration of his culture.
He has held exhibitions in Zurich, Spain, throughout Mexico, and an inspiring collective exhibition in the Mexico City subway. Antonio has held several exhibitions in NZ, where he now lives.
