<p style="text-align: center;">Artist Reception – October 7<sup>th</sup></p>
Gomez received his BFA from the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and was one of the few recipients of the William Elmen Cresson Memorial Scholarship to Europe.  His work has been featured in galleries in New York City and Philadelphia. His paintings and graphite works are highly detailed and utilize his unique style that marries the abstract and the representational.  Gomez’s work explores the combination of the abstract and the traditional in his representations of the human figure. His compositions pull on these opposite genres and styles to create narratives that are often autobiographical and or allegorical.  The Mexican modernists, cubism, and the Academic European tradition influence Gomez’s artwork, together creating emotive images that give his subjects a sense of play and vitality, while mixing different visual languages.
