Vicente Gómez Pérez
Spanish, b. 1975
The work of Vicente Gómez Pérez is situated within the field of Minimal and Postminimal painting of artists such as Richard Tuttle, Blinky Palermo, Peter Halley, Jürgen Partenheimer or Imi Knoebel, and the field of Expanded Painting of artists such as Ángela de la Cruz, José Sanleon, Irma Alvarez Laviada or Guillermo Mora.
In some of his works, the paint appears as a physical element that is left to dry in sheets, torn, folded, or deformed, creating structures close to sculptural. In other pieces, through the combination of materials such as fiberglass, he proposes visual fields crossed by strata, which at the same time recreate a multiplication of surfaces and at the same time affirm the physical presence of the object-painting. These objects, halfway between the pictorial and the sculptural, appear crossed by allusions to the deep psychic structures of our present moment, creating pieces that refer to an experience born from the personal, but which are proposed mainly as a social commentary, capable of giving abstraction the character of a discursive object, far from the simple expression of a timeless emotionality.
