González’ practice explores the poetic possibilities of objects, processes and stories taken from the everyday. Uprooted from their context, signs are transformed in order to create new narratives. González’ production moves between the liminal spaces of knowing and understanding. Trained in sculpture, González has moved towards a more interdisciplinary practice incorporating drawing, painting and mixed media works. His work incorporates the themes of collective memory, family, myths, the diaspora experience and childhood. His perspective is informed by navigating spaces as a queer person– and the notions of alternative fluid histories and intimacies it entails.

González (b. 1994, Valencia), a Quechua/Spanish artist, lives and works in London. He studied Fine Arts at the Universitat Politecnica de Valencia and the University of Leeds. Recently he was included in The Manchester Contemporary and an accompanying exhibition Grey Area (curated by Kevin Hunt), PINK, Manchester (2021); and Preparations (curated by LateWorks), Cafe OTO, London. In addition to his solo exhibition at robert’s, Glasgow (2022) he is working on an artist’s book with Forma Editions.
