This week’s artist spotlight is Wayne Gonzales 🏖️🌟⁠
⁠
Gonzales’ meticulously crosshatched paintings examine the American cultural landscape through the visual language of photography. Exploring the relationship between photography and communal memory, Gonzales uses hazy shades to highlight the mechanical and ephemeral feel of his source images.⁠
⁠
‘Pool’ (2024) shows two figures painted at the edge of a swimming pool. On the left, a man stoops over a sun lounger, while a woman sits looking into the distance. The ordinary scene is made strange by the artist’s rigorous crosshatching, organised into alternating lines of intensity, as if the viewer is peering through a window blind. Whilst this method offers visual clarity when viewed from afar, his paintings dissolve into an abstract assemblage of interlocking lines when seen up close, recalling pixilation.⁠
⁠
Reflecting on his work, Gonzales said, “My work develops out of intensely subjective impulses… The goal is to turn those impulses into a blank screen for the viewer.”⁠
