Alma materUniversity of New Orleans

Wayne Gonzales (born 1957) is an American painter, whose work confronts the conversations between photography, history, and memory.[1] He is based in New York City.[1]

Early life and education

[edit]

Wayne Gonzales was born in 1957 in New Orleans, Louisiana.[2][3] He grew up on the same street as Lee Harvey Oswald, which inspired his later art work.[1][4] Gonzales earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1985, from the University of New Orleans.[1]

He moved to New York City in the late 1980s.[1] Early in his career Gonzales worked as a studio assistant for artist Peter Halley.[1] His first solo exhibition was in 1997.[1]

Work

[edit]

Gonzales' paintings depict scenes of American Culture by using sources of imagery often taken from mass media and the internet.[5] He uses factual components to find instinctive connections to abstraction through painting. Up close, the paintings appear pixelated; once glanced from a far the pixelation comes together and forms an intricate image much like Op Art.[6][7] Gonzales became well known for presenting socially and political imagery, such as his paintings based around the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.[8] This body of work gained much acknowledgement when it opened at Paula Cooper Gallery in 2001.[1][9]

His work has traveled to galleries and museums across the world where he has exhibited in group and solo shows.[8]
