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
Gómez. 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 a
self ascribed
“social-abstract-surrealism”
and is currently exploring
multi-technique painting and
drawing.
He has received
positive critical reviews from
the media where he has
presented
exhibitions. 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.
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
Wesson, Samuel Rattner, and
others. Other note worthy
exhibitions ...
