ABOUT THE COLLABORATION

This exhibition highlights a six-month collaboration between Chicago based artists Sergio Gomez and Mario Gonzalez Jr. Both artists painted simultaneously a 72" x 168" painting using their individual styles. The result was an elaborate mixture of Gomez' abstract figuration interlaced with Gonzalez' stylized letter forms and symbols titled "Gomez/Gonzalez."

The expressive qualities and systematic application of forms combined with the energy of spontaneous painting performance make this 4-panel work a centerpiece for the exhibition. Three additional 48" x 50" collaborations pieces are part of the exhibition as well as individual works from each artist.
