Teo González

Teo Gonzalez, from Spain currently living in Brooklyn, is an artist who produces wonderful, provocative non-representational pieces. They are also pieces that, even more than is the norm do not seem to translate from reality into a photo and onto a website. His work is compelling on the page or online but it is much more so in person. He is showing work at Miami Project (December 3 to 8, 2013) via Brian Gross Fine Art at Miami Project (Booth 803).

Contemporary Wing is pleased to present a solo exhibition of new paintings by Teo González. González’s minimal paintings have historically juxtaposed chaos and order, movement and stasis, or depth and flatness. For this new series, González states that his source of inspiration “has been the night sky, those images of deep space that we can witness, thanks to the most advanced telescopes.

The recent works of Teo González at Brian Gross mark a logical next step for a painter who 15 years ago began each picture by ruling on it a strict, tight grid, whose cells he then filled with tiny dollops of color. The color blobs, varying slightly in size, shape and density, created unplannable pulsations throughout each picture's surface. González later extended the same practice to filling freehand grids, producing more dramatic optical warps of the picture plane....Read Full Story

The quarter-size ovals that splatter Teo Gonzalez' latest canvases are hypnotic. In turquoise, charcoal, satin red, and other colors, they snake and meander like jewels from a necklace in search of a home. A raised drip of paint dots the center of many ovals, giving the canvases — from the side, anyway — the appearance of armored plates....Read Full Story

In his most recent exhibition, "226,085 Drops," Spanish-born, Brooklyn-based artist Teo González proved himself capable of coaxing transcendent moments from mere daubs of paint. González's square grids are composed of tight clusters of thousands of miniscule "drops-within-drops."

Something must be wrong with my math. Irvine Contemporary's exhibition of the work of Teo González, two of whose obsessive-compulsive dot-patterned paintings have been acquired recently by the National Gallery of Art and the Corcoran Gallery of Art, is called "226,085 Drops," but I can account for only 199,314. Don't be silly, I didn't count them all myself. ...Read Full Story
