Raúl Gonzo
Color Madness
Color Madness
More Info
Raúl Gonzo stages relatable, yet unrealistic scenes of everyday life. In each of Gonzo’s highly saturated photographs, there are satirical and humorous nods to childhood, consumerism, music videos, Pop art, television game shows, Alfred Hitchcock films, and ideals of beauty. Gonzo employs models and performers to play the characters within his artist-made sets. His works present an interesting dichotomy: he asks viewers to embrace surface-level color and composition while questioning how American culture can be critiqued and reimagined through the smallest of details. Raúl Gonzo: Color Madness will be the first museum exhibition of this Sacramento-based artist.
