Artist of the Month – Vicky Gómez
Vicky Gómez, artist of the month of July, awaits you at our next inauguration!
Multidisciplinary artist, with studies in various artistic modalities, from fashion design to ceramics, narrative or illustration. From 2000, when he began his training in the ceramic field, he also began his professional career in the artistic field. He has always been committed to solidarity and environmental initiatives, in 2014 he began to incorporate this concern into his ceramic work with issues related to nature, but it was not until 2017 that he found an artistic line with which he identified to devote himself entirely, the issues of social denunciation, immigration, segregation, evictions, mistreatment. and a whole list of human injustices that anger him.
In the field of craftsmanship, to which it is dedicated professionally, this concern is also reflected and since 2018 it creates a new brand and line of work, “TRANSFORM-ART” based on the recovery of waste, creating small unique and functional works of art from the recycling of antique furniture and objects recovered as well as clothes. Making obsolete or rejection objects have a new life and new functionality. He has participated in several collective exhibitions and art festivals. Finalist of the Agbar Award 2021
SNAPSHOT
Instantànies is a collection of images, instants, briefs, captured between the fleeting frames that pass every day in front of our eyes. Windows in the world that if we enter it makes us aware of the magnitude and depth of a drama of infinite dimensions. Things that never change, people who always suffer but who fight with the only weapon they have left: dignity and perhaps hope.
Sculptures that combine poetry, ceramics, iron, recycled objects or waste material, which we can look through a frame and see them pass as photographs that we will not see again, or look further and reflect.
If looking at these “snapshots”, or listening to my poems, you feel anguish, anxiety, anxiety or indignation, or, even hope, the world may or “Tal vez” is not in danger of extinction
