Description
Summary:To honor his long career as an artist, Acosta Strong Fine Art is featuring Edward Gonzales in his second solo show at the Santa Fe gallery on July 24. His connection to humanity through art was born during his time in the military after being drafted during the Vietnam War. His use of pure bursts of color, combined with expressive depictions of real life help to communicate joy from the canvas. In fact, he scours photo archives that date back to the 1800s from Hispanic villages to find images of simple chores, familial relationships, and big gatherings-all things he experienced growing up.
