Artwork Title: SmileArtwork Title: Smile
Ricardo Gonzalez utilizes a limited palette, simplified mark-making, and sense of humor to explore the language of abstract painting. The works are a rediscovery of the artist's first interests in art via MAD, skateboard graphics, and teenage doodles, and celebrate the artist's hand, letting the process be transparent as well as allowing errors and chance. Their large scale makes the paintings objects of art and transforms these doodle-like images into pure shapes, paint, material, and process.
