Angel Gomez

In these paintings the still-lifes have a personal elegaic dimension, but also contain a message of hopefulness and rebirth. It is in the interval between these tensions that Gómez’s work has power and meaning: the tensions between the abstract and the real; between bright hues and deep tonality; between the personal and the symbolic; and between the fragile beauty of the flower and the resilience of the human spirit. To experience Angel Gómez’s new paintings is to pass through metaphorical doorways in order to understand the nature of passing and the progress of love.
