Urban dystopia

Dionisio González finds fertile ground for his artistic proposal in the tense spaces occupied by the city, in which architectural recreation coexists with destruction and ruin. Through photography, video and installation, he materializes long processes of research into the contemporary city. With his characteristic panoramic images - in which traditional constructions coexist with other invented ones - González reveals the keys to modern architecture and, at the same time, records the way in which social transformations shape the metropolis.

We are pleased to present Dionisio González's avant-garde work in the Gallery's Sala Negra. Large-format works from the 2011 and 2012 Dauphin series and seven black-and-white pieces from the "Inter-Actions" series. These works invite viewers to explore the intersection between chaos and beauty in changing urban environments.

The works in the “Dauphin” series, inspired by the island of the same name located in the Gulf of Mexico, capture the resilience of its inhabitants in the face of the periodic devastation of hurricanes. Dionisio González reflects on the acceptance of adversity and proposes futuristic structures as a response to the constant destruction.
Seven black-and-white pieces from the series "Inter-Actions" explore the relationship between human beings and their environment. Through these fictional recreations, González questions society's use of natural resources, presenting constructions that visually integrate into the landscape.
