Fran Gonzalez (1959) - Blue Gold (XXL)

Title: Blue Gold (XXL) Theme: "Blue Gold" (XXL) belongs to the artistic line started over 40 years ago by the sculptor and gilder Fran González (Contemporary Gilding). "Blue Gold" is a large-scale work, elegant and luminous. Its richness of textures, strong presence and abstract aesthetics pay homage to Tapestries and to the world of Oriental Luxury. This piece is designed to bring magic and warmth to any interior space. Fran González, an artist specialized in the use of gold leaf as a contemporary artistic medium, focuses his work on the fusion of artisanal traditions with experimentation and the creation of novel exclusive techniques. His reinterpretation of gilding and the use of non-traditional materials as an artistic language differentiate him within the contemporary art landscape. In Fran González’s work, gold leaf and other metals (bronze, aluminum, silver, etc.) are used as an expressive and symbolic medium, beyond mere decorative value. The work is delivered with a certificate that guarantees its authenticity, authorship and provenance. WARNINGS: to facilitate its transport and reduce shipping costs, the work is delivered without stretcher and without frame, rolled upon itself and with a double protective wrapping. It is also recalled that the proportions and colors appearing in some photomontages (mockups) may not correspond exactly to reality and are offered only as a reference for the piece’s presence in a contemporary interior context. Technique: Acrylic and Gilding on synthetic canvas. Application of several layers of imitation gold leaf with acid patinas. About gilding techniques: The traditional gilding technique consists of applying very thin sheets of metal (gold, silver, imitation gold (i.e., bronze), aluminum, copper, etc.) onto any artistic surface (wood, metal, ceramics, textiles, etc.). Contemporary Gilding: Contemporary gilding techniques are unique and exclusive to Fran González and originate from the experimental philosophy of 20th-century contemporary art, developed over more than 40 years of professional career, and giving the works qualities that radiate a magical light that permeates the space in which they are exhibited. Shipping: packaged rolled and protected Dimensions: 152 cm x 117 cm. (XXL) Hand-signed on the reverse Fran González, by @contemporarygilding Year 2026 Fran González (Spain, 1959) is a contemporary artist who works gilding techniques from a current perspective. Under the name "Contemporary Gilding" he explores the contrast between the material and the symbolic through unique works and limited series. González’s career began in 1982 when, after studying Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Madrid, he decided to devote himself full-time to Sculpture and Ceramics. He studied Art at the School of Fine Arts of Madrid, the Official School of Ceramics of Madrid and participated in various Contemporary Art Workshops at the Circulo de Bellas Artes in Madrid with relevant contemporary artists such as Julian Schnabel, Eva Lootz, Juan Hidalgo and Valcárcel Medina, between 1982 and 1990. Although his development has been mainly self-taught, Fran González has earned various national and international awards and recognitions since the start of his career. Thanks to having resided in several European countries, his works are in numerous private collections in France, the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Sweden, the United Kingdom and Ireland and the USA. More extensive information about his work and career can be found by searching Google with the tags "Fran Gonzalez" and "Contemporary Gilding". Fran González in the media: (Article about FG in the European Portal of Craftsmanship "Mad´in Europe" (Excerpts)) "Fran(cisco) González is a ceramist, sculptor, painter and contemporary gilder whose practice unites traditional craft and innovative technique. With more than four decades of experience, his work reflects a continuous dialogue between material, process and inspiration. His main gilding method, used about 80% of the time, is water gilding, which he chooses for its lower toxicity and sustainability, especially when working indoors... Much of Francisco’s work draws inspiration from archaeological artifacts and ancient cultures. Whether the Greeks, the Etruscans, the Phoenicians, the Romans, the Chinese, the Japanese, or the rich hybrid Arab culture in Spain, his fascination lies not only in the forms and techniques of the past but in the emotional resonance they carry. This emotional depth permeates his ceramics, gilded sculptures and even his evolving jewelry design. This curiosity led him to prehistoric origins and, gradually, to experimenting with new materials and forms..."
