Osvaldo González elevates the use of adhesive tape to its most accomplished artistic expression, transforming an ordinary material into a plastic element that questions the viewer’s perception.

Through compositions of meticulously superimposed tape and the use of light, the artist creates spaces evocative of interior landscapes where architecture doesn’t simply frame the scene, but becomes a subject in its own right. His works capture a fleeting instant, a frozen image, a transitory moment: “a reminiscence suspended in light”.

After several years of painting, notably during his studies at the Institut Supérieur d’Art de La Havane, where he graduated in 2006, Osvaldo González discovered the subtlety of scotch tape, which enabled him to create chiaroscuro effects, a material he now uses to explore the relationship between light and shadow. Plexiglas thus becomes the evolution of canvas, and tape the evolution of painting, without abandoning pictorial composition. Experimentation with space is at the heart of his artistic approach, questioning our relationship to physical space and everyday objects, while transcending the very principles of painting and its techniques.

Descendencia (Descent) is deeply marked by the notion of time, linked to the artist’s personal history over the last few years, his family nucleus and, above all, his two daughters. Ámbar and Jade are not just the names given to his series, nor are they trivial color choices: they represent the very essence of his new artistic explorations.

Solo show of Osvaldo González

The gallery

Galleria Continua is a contemporary art gallery founded in 1990 in San Gimignano by three friends: Mario Cristiani, Lorenzo Fiaschi and Maurizio Rigillo.

Galleria Continua represents a desire for continuity between times and a desire to write a current history. Thanks to its investment in forgotten and unconventional sites, the gallery has always chosen atypical locations, developing a strong identity and an original positioning in over thirty years of activity. In 2021, Galleria Continua opened a new space in the heart of the French capital. This space is dedicated to experimentation and the encounter between art, society and culture, in a constantly evolving setting.
