Ronald Gonzalez
Arts/Industry: Foundry, 1988
Ronald Mario Gonzalez is a contemporary sculptor, assemblage, and installation artist known for generating bodies of work that explore the intersection between found objects and figuration. At the core of the artist’s practice is the complex fusion of time-worn materials that blend personal memories and histories into proliferations of hybrid heads, figures, and assemblage objects articulated by personal symbolism and psychological complexity.
Gonzalez’s work has been shown nationally and internationally, including at Levine Projects, New Jersey; EJECTA Projects, Pennsylvania; Art Number 23 Gallery, London (UK); and the De Cordova Museum and Sculpture Park, Massachusetts. Gonzalez has been awarded numerous grants and residencies, including New York State Council on the Arts Decentralization Project grant, The Fields Art Omi Sculpture Park Project residency, and a Pollock-Krasner Grant. His work is included in many private and public collections, including the Cape Cod Museum of Art, Massachusetts; Gibbs Museum of Art, South Carolina; and the Museum of Contemporary and Hispanic Art, New York.
Gozalez holds a BA from Binghamton University-State University of New York, where he currently teaches.
