Alfonso Gonzalez Jr.

DESCRIPTION

Alfonso Gonzalez Jr. is a Los Angeles-based painter whose work is deeply informed by his native city’s visual culture and his father’s trade as a commercial sign painter. His practice focuses on documenting the evolving urban landscape of working-class neighborhoods, utilizing techniques derived from rotulismo (hand-painted signage) and graffiti. Through his detailed paintings, he captures the weathered surfaces and familial histories of labor that define the quotidian environment of Southern California.
