The Museum of Latin American Art is pleased to present the first in-depth exhibition of the prolific Chicana artist Yolanda González.
Metamorphosis: the Evolution of the Visions and Dreams is an invitation to explore the imagination and the practice of the renowned creator, who lives and works in Los Angeles. Here, we discover a compendium of some of her initial artworks in the 1980s and extend to her most recent production, where color, texture, and contemporary lyricism abound.
Yolanda González’s universe proposes a journey where images, ideas, and symbols transport the viewer to a dreamlike world of intimate spaces: the representation of the human figure and the dazzlement of new imaginaries. All of this is achieved through a constellation of evocations very close to the artist’s personal history but also in dialogue with other artistic and poetic influences of German Expressionism, the Japanese aesthetic, and the Chicano/a/x movement.
The artist reveals her...fascination for the constantly intimate relationship between art and life through her paintings, drawings, sculptures, installations, and prints. It is there, in that inevitable and just as critical intersection, where the artwork invites the viewer to erase the limits. Where the elements of history, music, literature, and dance appear as metaphorical concepts of femininity, identity, representation, spirituality, and emotions interweave to create a profound sense of belonging to their surroundings and community.
Yolanda González is a multidisciplinary artist committed to the present and, at the same time, an explorer of the past. Her work presents re-readings/new readings/new lectures of abstract and figurative art, mastery of color, line, and space, in a passionate narrative that beats just under the surface of ancestral, personal, and universal resonance.
