Artist Statement:
Gerardo Gonzalez-Quevedo,
born in Havana, Cuba,
emigrated to the United
States in 1988 and settled in
Miami. He went to New York to
study art at the School of
Visual Arts in Manhattan. He
returned to Miami and has
exhibited his work
extensively in traditional
and alternative spaces.
Gonzalez-Quevedo’s paintings
are made by cutting and
piecing together various
painted fragments, drawings,
digital imagery, and
fabrics. This method of
working is inspired by years
of observing his mother and
grandmother engage in the
process of constructing and
sewing clothes by hand. One
aspect of the design process
that he incorporates in his
paintings is the “Tuales”.
“Tuales” are rough drafts for
the final dress that show
evidence of all the steps,
corrections, and decisions
made during the construction
stages. They reveal the
history and thought process
behind the final piece of
clothing. When
Gonzalez-Quevedo creates his
paintings, he allows the
viewer to witness his own
thought process involved in
the construction of his
artwork. In a manner similar
to “Tuales”, he layers and
juxtaposes memories, everyday
images, and elements of the
urban landscape in his
compositions. ...
