Artist Statement for Carlos G Gomez

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 he has participated in, include the 70th American Annual at Newport in Rhode Island, the Second National Jury Exhibition in Washington DC, The Latin Spirit of the 80's in Houston, the Art in Nature at the Museum of Natural History in Austin, Cara on Cara: Texas Faces in San Antonio, Tres Proyectos Latinos, Austin Museum of Art at Laguna Gloria curated by Benito Huerta, and the Eight Parkside National Small Print Exhibition held in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Other exhibitions of merit were Sister Cities Testing Boundaries Exhibition, El Paso Museum of Art, El Paso curated by Christian Gerstheimer, a three person show at the Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center curated by Kathy Vargas in San Antonio, “Chicana/o Art for our Millennium,” at the Mesa Southwest Museum in Phoenix, “Four from Brownsville” at the Kellogg Gallery at Cal Poly Tech in Pomona, California, “Dos Caras Del Sur de Tejas” Carlos G. Gómez and Cesar A. Martinez; at the Brownsville Historic Museum, group exhibitions in Fort Worth, Austin, Dallas, Houston, Wichita Kansas, Boise Idaho, and Norm Oklahoma, and several exhibitions in the Rio Grande Valley many of which were one man shows. Among them were “Provenance” at the Rio Grande Valley Museum in Harlingen Texas, “Pseudonym” at Richardson Art Gallery, “Serendipity” at STC in McAllen, Texas, “Presence” at La Pena Gallery in Austin, “The Human Condition” in Brownsville, “Orale” in Mexico, “Unplugged: Gómez on Paper”, The Chupacabra Chronicles Exposed, “Cadence” and “Unplugged: Gómez on Paper < 3” at the Art Center at Corpus Christi..
Carlos was also invited to “Monumental Idea in Miniature Book” an art international exhibition and Ink and Clay 35 a juried exhibition at Cal Poly Tech Pomona California.
Aside from exhibiting his work, Gómez is also a very active curator and has curated more than one hundred exhibitions.
Currently, he is a Professor of Fine Arts at the University of Texas at Brownsville, where he teaches classes in painting and drawing.
