Urban dystopia: Dionisio González - Black Room

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

We are pleased to present the cutting-edge work of Dionisio González in the gallery's Black Room. Works from the 2011 and 2012 large format "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 series "Dauphin", which are inspired by the island of the same name located in the Gulf of Mexico, capture the resilience of its inhabitants in the face of periodic hurricane devastation. 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 are visually integrated into the landscape.
