EDUARDO GOMEZ : SILENT MESSAGES
This book should be of great interest to sculptors and other visual artists, teachers and developing artists, universities and museums as well art connoisseurs and collectors.
This book captures essential esthetic and psychological elements in the creative journey of contemporary figurative sculptor Eduardo Gomez Rojas. This is a book that explores how the artist’s visual language has its genesis and reflection in his life, mind and soul. In this book Figurative Sculptor Eduardo Gomez shares his development as a visual artist, his philosophy of art, and some of his creative secrets and intimacies. The book begins with a foreword which is a perceptive and intelligent critique of Eduardo Gomez’s Sculpture by Art Historian Laura M. Amrhein PH.D. Through formal analysis of Eduardo Gomez’s art Ms. Amrhein situates Eduardo Gomez’s work as part of the movement of “Magic Realism” which had its origins in 20th Century Latin American literature and art with the likes of Nobel Prize winner Gabriel Garcia Marquez and painter and sculptor Fernando Botero. Amrhein looks at how the figurative sculpture of Eduardo Gomez is simultaneously sensitive and obsessive, precise and informal, brutally honest and visually ambiguous, and how it explores the contradictions residing in the human soul. The foreword is followed by a telling interview that reveals the artist to the reader. In section #3 , The Creative Process, the artist discusses how he approaches the creation of his pieces. The next section, section # 4, features a Gallery of the artists’ work complete with full page photographs of each sculpture as well as a short retrospective account of each work that sheds light as to its origins and its gestation in the artist’s mind. Section #5 is a Catalog Raisonnee which catalogues the artists’ of work including, dates, Names, Pictures, Dimensions, Editions and Medium. The book ends with short biographies of figurative sculptor Eduardo Gomez and art historian Laura M. Amrhein.
