Artist Statement as a Visual and Multidisciplinary Artist
Rosalinda Gonzalez is a visual and multidisciplinary artist. She is best known for paintings, videos, and photographs that depict queer femme experiences informed by trauma. Her work can be colorful and neo-expressionistic, monochromatic and abstract in the Zen tradition, or take on a minimalist approach depending on the series.
She draws inspiration from drag, astrology, and Fluxus when creating new media works or performing live. At large her multidisciplinary work is connected to Dada, queer, and Carl Jung’s (the father of analytical psychology) ideas. Visually her work often depicts self-portraits, figures, archetypes, and silhouettes.
Artist-Activist Statement
As an artist-activist she is more known for organizing in local communities, putting on exhibitions, and other special events that support underrepresented groups in an artistic setting. Around 45 exhibitions and events in Houston, Texas, New York, New York, San Francisco, California, and Montpellier, Vermont, have been organized, curated, marketed, and produced by her. The majority of the events highlighted border concerns, BIPOC communities, and avant-garde works.
She has most recently served as a volunteer on the Jung Center’s Committee for Belonging and Art Selection Committee. She is currently exploring and collaborating with the Jung Center on how to bring more BIPOC instructors, artists, and art programs that support diversity and inclusivity to the Houston Texas Museum District.
