The Art Review Part 3

Social Abstract Surrealist, Carlos Gomez is a true master of his own art. In his latest show " The hair of the Dog", a series of large size paintings clearly reflects his SAS style which he has remain true to for more than several years now on several of his art shows. His quality of work is high in definition, a combination of both his experience and talent. His choice of color, blend, contrast, space, light and shadow all balance the viewer at any distance to his chosen eye view, which may imply in some paintings his play at optical art. In this series, out door and desert like atmospheres, a passing cloud, a radiant sun or source of light, that doubles as a giant cooked egg, a set of rocks, a horse, a baboon, a man and his loyal companion the dog, to me all seem to questions the viewers thoughts of solidarity and or entrapment.. I also think the art is open for interpretation in the same sense we interpret dreams or ones views on life. In that sense it has the capacity to speak and questions the thoughts of a large audience without it ever adapting to the idea of it being simple decorative art.
