WHAT CRITICS AND VISITORS THINK ABOUT MY WORK:
On Chulas y Flamencas:
“I really love the recycle aspect in Jose’s work and the unique way Jose embraces the present with his style and use of materials new and old. I went to Jose’s studio at Crisis, Bermondsey Project and was bowled over by his work." ( Mary Salome, Gallery Curator as featured in Brixton Buzz)
"Las retratadas son libres, sofisticadas y arrebatadoras, con fondos monocromáticos con diferentes patrones represando motivos que las hacen particulares,
elegantes o cómicas según el caso." (Silvia Demetillia, La Tundra Revista)
"These portraits are free-spirited, sophisticated and entrancing; their distinguished patterns on monochromatic backgrounds enhance each portrait's elegance and sense of irony" (Silvia Demetillia, La Tundra Revista - English Translation)
"Algo debe tener el pintor sevillano José Gómez que nunca deja de sorprenderme ni por su genialidad, ni por sus originales ocurrencias inspiradas por todo aquello que trasciende la convencionalidad..." (Nacho Diaz, Politica Local)
"En cuanto a los penes adornando a Marie (...) también son un magnífico reclamo para reivindicar y celebrar una manera de plasmar la homosexualidad que ya me hubiese gustado a mi hacerla propia" (Nacho Diaz, Politica Local)
"As for the penises adorning Marie, I can only say that although they could be a provocation, despite the fact that I do not see it that way, they are also a magnificent claim to claim and celebrate a way of expressing homosexuality that I already had I liked to make it my own" (Nacho Diaz, Politica Local - English Translation)
On Santos y Deseo:
"El impacto que me produjo ver la imagen de su Saint Alex, junto con la de otros miembros de su particular santoral, me envolvió de inmediato en un aurea de sensualidad kitsch, transmitida por el esplendor de los cuerpos de los modelos y su sugerente evocación a los placeres de la carne, haciéndome reflexionar sobre la siempre tan borrosa frontera que separa determinados aspectos del homoerotismo fetichista y la iconografía católica." (Nacho Diaz, Politica Local)
"The impact of seeing the image of his Saint Alex, along with that of other members of his Saints series, immediately enveloped me in an aura of kitsch sensuality, transmitted by the splendor of the models' bodies and their suggestive evocation of the pleasures of the flesh, making me reflect on the ever so blurred border that separates certain aspects of fetishistic homoeroticism and Catholic iconography." (Nacho Diaz, Politica Local - English Translation)
On Commixture (The Exhibition):
"I really enjoyed this exhibition because the artwork had such vibrant and daring colors" (M. Campbell, artist)
"Wonderful exhibition Jose. I am so happy I came. I love the golden one but the people ones are amazing. All the best" (S. Russell)
"Thank you Jose for blessing us with your beautiful artwork! I love how each painting has their own style. Good luck!" (G. NG)
On Jose Gomez Artist Take Over Week 30 Exhibition:
"Maravilloso" (A. Montelongo)
"Fabulous work. You are just oozing with colour. Keep smiling. Keep shining!" (K. Anning, Artist and Fashion Designer)
"Fabulous Jose. Well done!" (G. Crimmins, Artist)
