Artist Statement:
Brief Biography
Born in Mexico D.F., Carlos
G. Gómez found his first
artistic expression in the
“Tex – Mex” culture of the Rio
Grande Valley in Brownsville
where he was raised. “Brightly
colored buildings and the
surreal atmosphere of the
Mexican border towns gave me
the first appreciation of
color, line, and the
generalization that my chosen
images would have to be bold
and realistic," explains
Carlos. He obtained his
B.F.A. at Pan American
University and attended
Washington State University
for his M.F.A. in painting and
drawing. In the course of his
studies he went, from an
interest in Renaissance style
art to
social-abstract-surrealism and
is currently exploring
multi-technique painting.
He has received
positive critical reviews from
the media where he has
presented
exhibitions. Most recently, he
was included in Arizona State
University Hispanic
Research Center publications;
Contemporary Chicana and
Chicano Art Work: Artist,
Works, and Education and
CHICANO ART FOR OUR MILLENIUM,
and a textbook:
K-8 Spotlight on Art,
published by Pearson Scott
Foreman.
Notable exhibitions include:
The 24th exhibition of
Painting and Sculpture held at
Barnegat Light, New Jersey,
which included monumental
artist like: Ben Shahn,
Leonardo Nierman, Betty ...
