“Working
primarily in mixed media on canvas, Elisa Gomez wields her materials
with the skill of a practiced fine artist while nonetheless composing
her canvases with the ease of a studied art historian. Evidenced by a
few discernible, well-executed, and discrete operations, her working
mode transposes the schema and aesthetic of both European and
American Abstract Expressionism with a studied sensitivity particular
to her training and practice. Gomez demonstrates a playful attention
to color, texture, and surface. Palette and visual movement between,
amongst, and across forms figure heavily into her pieces. In style as
well as composition, Gomez’s work is replete with recurrent
aesthetic maneuvers and nonetheless peppered with extensive variation
and experimentation. Her canvases continue to surprise and delight
the viewer in their transposition of elements across genres and
movements." Elizabeth Miller Ph. D. Student, UC Sandiego  |
